Loans of the Austrian National Library for Exhibitions

Objects from the holdings of the Austrian National Library can be loaned for the purpose of an exhibition with the consent of the current director of the Department. A written request with details of the desired objects (if possible with call numbers) is to be sent to the director of the relevant Collection, with the following information:

The name of the borrower
The title of the exhibition
The place and duration of the exhibition.

Loans for exhibitions require in every case a written contractual agreement (» Lending Agreement).
The costs that are foreseen for loans to exhibitions are to be found in the » Provisional cost estimate for loans.
The following deadlines are to be observed:

Approval of the loan request by the ANL
at least 6 months before the start of the exhibition
Return of the signed loan contract

We draw your attention to the fact that orders for reproduction of copies from catalogues must be placed in the relevant Department independently of the » Lending Agreement.
