Exhibition loans

The Archives Centre welcomes the opportunity to share its collections with a wider audience through loans to temporary exhibitions.

In order to prepare a loan, we ask for a formal loan request at least six months in advance of an exhibition’s opening date. The formal loan request should contain the following information:

• Exhibition title and dates
• Venue details, including key contact names, telephone numbers and email addresses
• Exhibition scenario, explaining the context of the items within the exhibition
• List of items requested with reference codes

and should be addressed in writing to:

Allen Packwood
Director
Churchill Archives Centre
Storey’s Way
Cambridge
CB3 0DS
Director.Archives@chu.cam.ac.uk

Requests will be assessed by the Director, in conjunction with conservation and curatorial staff, and a decision will be communicated as soon as possible.

We are happy to help with research and identification of potential loan items and informal enquiries may be addressed to Sophie Bridges.
