Make sure to take detailed photos of what you are loaning them. Also, a inventory of everything you loan them.
If they are a reputable museum they should have a contract for the items and proof of insurance. Make sure it has a disclaimer for damage while on display.
If shipping items back to you have insurance amount for freight/shipping. Also have them reuse the packing material you used if shipped to museum.

Hi Mike - sounds like you have received some great suggestions here. I loaned some signatures to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame - it was a great experience. Two minor considerations for you. If you carry insurance on your collection, you will need to notify your carrier where your loaned items are located. Also, if any older or light autographs are on display, make sure the lighting source is reduced in order to preserve the item.

Take care
Dick

I’m helping out at the museum this week. Today I will be cataloging their 1971 Pirates game used bat collection. Here are a few photos of some of the items I loaned them. I’m “collecting” some amazing memories this week. Here is Clemente’s 1971 World Series MVP award. It came with the car. It was incredible to hold it in my hands.

Pretty, pretty cool. I think this was meant to happen, all along. Very happy for you. Maybe the Bucs sweep a series this weekend?
