Loan Program
Atwater Kent Collection Loan Program, effective February 14, 2025
The Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel (AKC) will operate an active loan program appropriate and consistent with best practices and ethical guidelines of current museum standards, for short-term (up to one year), medium-term (one to two years), and long-term loans (more than two years) to nonprofit cultural and academic institutions in Philadelphia (including historic sites, societies, and houses; libraries; and museums), and from time to time to cultural institutions outside Philadelphia.
A primary goal of this loan program is to make Atwater Kent Collection objects more accessible to the public in more places, so that in-person access to AKC objects is easier, more practical, and more relevant for Philadelphia’s citizens. Drexel therefore welcomes interest from both traditional and non-traditional borrowing organizations interested in displaying objects from the Collection.
