Permanent Loans are loans given to an institution while the owner retains the asset value of the piece. This is common with private donors or institutions that own pieces that want to retain the value of the piece for themselves, but the piece may not fall within their collections guidelines. With private donors the case usually happens that when they die the piece is gifted permanently to the loan institution and the asset value is then transferred from the individual estate to the institution. I would think you would have something in your gift agreement or borrowing policy about reproduction rights in the case of the permanent loan.

Isn't that an oxymoron? Do you own reproduction rights with this "loan"? That would influence whether or not you can give permission reproduction. Elizabeth Dr. Elizabeth A.
