The display case is available for use to internal university departments or groups, and requires a Trent student, staff or faculty login.

Booking the Display Case

Bookings of the Display Case are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Bookings may be made up to 1 year in advance of the desired time slot. The Library cannot guarantee that a desired date for the display case will be available to any group, so booking early in the academic year, as there is a high demand for use of this space, is recommended.
Terms and Conditions
The Library takes no responsibility for the security or welfare of exhibits at any time, including installation or dismantling of the display. By agreeing to the terms and conditions, the exhibitor indemnifies the Library from any responsibility for loss or damage. Insurance coverage, if needed, is the responsibility of the exhibitor.
