Donate to our Collection | Strathcona County Museum & Archives

Donation Process

To donate to the collection, please contact us.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept donations without an appointment.

Review Process

The Acquisitions Committee will review potential donations based on two criteria:

1. The item supports the Strathcona County Museum & Archives mission

2. Strathcona County Museum & Archives can adequately care for, house, and potentially exhibit the item

After the item is accepted by the Acquisitions Committee, it is accessioned into the collection. Accessioning is a process by which the donated materials are added to the collection and become the property of Strathcona County Museum & Archives/ Strathcona County Heritage Foundation through a signed Deed of Gift.

Please note that Strathcona County Museum & Archives does not perform appraisals.
