Hi Sylvia,
we are reviewing our policies and procedures at present, so this might
be changed in the next year or so, but here is what we currnetly do
>

Yes, we do refuse loans which do not allow enough time for proper
processing by either registration or conservation (ususally 6-8 weeks).
By the same token we have done loans in 24 hours if there was a
management directive to do so, and the obejctsd were in good condition.

> conservation, packing and shipping costs?
Not yet, but we are seriously considering it.
>
> 2a) If so is it on a per loan, per object or per time/direct expenses
> incured basis?
We aare looking at direct and operational expenses associated with
lending, not a "rental fee" per say.
Hope this helps,
Richard Gerrard
