Enquiries & Loans

The section operates an international loan service, including the loan of type specimens. We will only loan to institutions and not to individuals. Individuals should seek affiliation with their local museum or university to facilitate loans on their behalf. We retain the right to refuse any loan if we are not in any way satisfied with the security of our material. Low-grade material can be loaned for teaching purposes to educational bodies.

We encourage researchers to ask for high quality images of our collection specimens for publication purposes.

All loans enquiries and collection enquiries should be directed through the Collection Manager, Harriet Wood.
