Loan conditions
The borrower must be able to comply with the general loan conditions of the Allard Pierson and with any special conditions that apply to particular loans or objects.
It is important to submit loan applications as early as possible, at least six months before the start of the requested loan period. Requests within the six-month period can unfortunately no longer be processed. If you have any questions about loans, send an email to our registrars. Send an e-mail.

Staff at the reception desk in the Special Collections Reading Room can assist you in your selection. They will also be able to arrange contact with the curators on factual questions.
Loan applications
The Allard Pierson has decided that a six-month loan stop has been declared with effect from 1 February. The loan stop will run from 1 February to 31 July 2025.
Only fully completed forms that are submitted before the six-months period will be dealt with. By submitting a loan application, the applicant confirms compliance with the general loan conditions. The director of the Allard Pierson will decide whether to accept the loan application.
