Your greatness is not what you have, but what you give.
If you would like to donate an object to the museum collection, it is best to call or email to talk to the curator or assistant curator.
NCVM has been collecting the Valley’s history for over 30 years and we are reaching capacity. To that end, we have had to narrow our collecting mandate to only objects relevant to the Valley’s heritage. Once a month, the NCVM Accessions Committee meets and goes through all offers to the museum and selected articles are then submitted for subsequent approval of the museums Collection Committee.
We are looking to make sure we don’t collect duplicates to objects already in our collection, what condition the object is in, and the historical significance of the object to our collection area, among other criteria. If your object does not fit in with our criteria, we do have a list of other museums still collecting that we can help you with.
A charitable tax receipt for donated artefacts can be provided. However, the donor needs to provide an appraisal with an amount. Your donation will assist in maintaining and building upon the VISION of the museum’s board of directors, staff, volunteers, and sponsors.
