Community History Collection Workshop

If interested in donating collections to the Foundation, please reach out to the archivist with information and photos of your collection and its history. If the Foundation is interested, an informal consultation will follow. Materials donated without prior consultation are unable to be accepted by the Foundation due to a lack of legal and contextual information.
