Hello,<div>  I am preparing a presentation for a Public History class on the topic of lending delicate objects and I&#39;m hoping a few of the more experienced can provide me with some of their own experiences with this.  The focus of the presentation will be how historic agencies determine whether or not to lend objects (especially if it was a gift given on the condition of being able to use the object for events or parades, etc.) and how these decisions came to be made.</div>
<div>  If you have a story to tell, PLEASE share, horror stories and happy endings alike.  Images, videos, audio and any related materials are welcome.</div><div>  Thanks for the help!</div><div>  --Amy Gernon</div><div><br>
