Does the historian's office accept donations of historical items?

Yes! The County Historian's Office primarily relies on donations of historical materials to expand the collection. Donations are assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering such factors as intrinsic historical value, condition, age, rarity, and storage requirements. Contact us and we will be happy to discuss.

Monetary donations are not accepted as this office is a department of county government.

For more details about what we generally accept and the terms of donation, view the Collection Development and Management Policy. and Donation Form.
