Universities and Museums usually have good "personal property" on-loan contracts. The basics are:
-DESCRIBE THE ITEM including the serial number
-I am not giving this to you
-I am not charging you to use this
-You will cover repair costs should it be broken while in your custody
-You will have it insured for theft or loss (like fire) while you have it
-In the event of a claim, you will cover the insurance deductible and shortfall, should there be any
-I am leaving it with you for this ___ long at this ___ location
-It must either be returned, or a new agreement signed, prior to the completion of the agreed duration
-It must be returned prior to you vacating, or surrendering, the agreed location
-It cannot be moved from the agreed location
-I can recover this at will
Here are two University examples:

It's good to go into an agreement like this knowing that you might never see it again, but always go in prepared.
I think this what i'm looking for. Thank you!
