Deposit agreements
Owners or custodians of archival collections occasionally deposit their papers with record repositories instead of transferring them permanently.
We offer impartial advice to owners and custodians holding all types of manuscript records on where and how to deposit their collections in the United Kingdom.
If you require advice on records in your custody that you wish to deposit please contact Archives Sector Development.
Loan agreements
We have produced guidance on drawing up loan agreements between repositories and private owners, for use by archivists:
