I haven't seen this example posted yet: The Chicago Historical Society has recently initiated a new loan policy. It states, in part, that a loan request must be made 6 (six!!) months in advance, must be in writing (reasonable) and a fee of US$100 will be assessed per item. A copy of their loan policy may be obtained from Louise Brownell, Registrar, Chicago Historical Society, Clark Street @ North Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614-6099.
