Deposits and Long-term Loans

1. Welcome

0%

In late 2024, the Scottish Council on Archives (SCA) launched a working group to look at the issue of deposited/long-term loaned collections (that is, collections held but not owned by a repository). The purpose of this survey is to gather information from across the Scottish sector on the extent and management of deposited collections, and what role the SCA can play in developing guidance around good practice in this area.

 

 

 

 

1. This survey is aimed at people who are responsible for managing archive services which hold deposited/long-term loaned collections. The data gathered will be used to inform the priorities and outputs of the SCA Working Group on Deposited Collections. The data will only be accessed by members of the Working Group and SCA staff. You can choose to provide your name and contact details or to complete the survey anonymously.  *
