Donations

Donations to the Museum’s artifact collection follow a very specific process which is accordance with standards and guidelines set by the American Association of Museums. 

When a donation is offered, the donor must fill out and sign a Temporary Artifact Receipt.  This does not transfer ownership to the Museum, but gives us permission to consider the gift for the collection. 

Once a month, our Collections Review Committee meets to review all new donation offers.  We evaluate them based on their connection to our mission, on whether the artifact is a duplicate to something we already have, whether it has significant documentation and history, and any other criteria pertinent to an individual donation.  If accepted, we issue a Deed of Gift, which is the form that transfers ownership and completes the donation. 

All donations are unconditional and unrestricted gifts to the Museum.  For more information about our procedures

Donations to our Family History and Genealogy Center are handled through a different process directly through Michele McNabb, Manager and Librarian.
