  Committee Member
  SAFAP is an independent panel of heritage experts responsible for advising the Queen’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer (QLTR) to which museum an object should be allocated and on the level of ex gratia payment for the finder. Should two or more museums apply for the same case they also decide to which museum the object should be allocated, with a preference for allocation to a museum close to where the object was found.
