How to Request a Loan
All loan requests must be submitted in writing to the Royal Armouries’ Registrar.
- Requests should be made at least six months before the objects are required. Requests made less than six months before dispatch will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.
- A request acknowledgement will be sent to you within three weeks of us receiving the request and a decision in principle should be made within six weeks.
- The Board of Trustees of the Royal Armouries have the final decision and have the right to turn down any loan request.
- Loans will only be made to venues that have suitable environmental and security conditions.
- To determine this, a UK Registrar’s Group (UKRG) Facilities Report must be completed and the loan venue security must be approved by the Museums Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) Security Advisor, both arranged by the Royal Armouries.
