Loan of Maine State Museum collections may be made to other museums, non-profit institutions, or educational institutions. Generally, loans to individuals, commercial, or profit making organizations will not be made, with the exception of conservation loans. The museum may, however, provide exhibits or collections to such groups provided the museum has direct staff control or supervision over such materials at all times.
The Collections Committee will meet on a regular basis to consider proposed loans. All such proposed loans will be carefully considered and, upon a majority vote of the committee members, recommended to the museum director for acceptance or rejection. All such votes and actions will be recorded in minutes of the Collections Committee.
