Dear University Museum Colleagues:
 
Here at the University of Northern Iowa Museum we have a concern about
donations of objects that go through the University Foundation
instead of through our own front door.  These donations are considered to be
loans from the Foundation to the Museum.  What type of safeguards and
regulations can be attached to object "loans" that will ensure museum control
over them?
 
Could our colleagues post their feelings, policies, anecdotes, concerns about
their experiences with respect to this subject.
 
TIA
