Videos, books, artifacts, discovery boxes, and other items available in our collections are all available for loan from the African Studies Program office.
Items are shipped free-of-charge anywhere within the state via UPS. The packages arrive with a pre-paid return label that can be affixed to the box for return shipping. We ask that items be borrowed for no more than 2 weeks, though if an item is in high demand we may need to shorten the loan period. Likewise, accommodations can be made if an item is needed for an extended period.

- Name of the person(s) making the request
