Thank you for your interest in donating an object or document to the Lane County Historical Museum. Due to limited storage space, as well as an already large collection, we must be very selective in accepting additional materials. We appreciate your offer and will respond as soon as we have completed our review. PLEASE DO NOT TRANSPORT ANY OBJECTS TO THE MUSEUM WHILE THE REVIEW IS PENDING.

1.) Please describe the object(s) you are interested in donating:

2.) What is the object’s relationship to Lane County? (For example: made in Lane County; owned by a person or business in Lane County, etc.) The museum only collects items that assist in interpreting Lane County history:

3.) If the object does not directly relate to Lane County, but would be safe to be handled by children, would you consider the donation to be for the education collection?

Note: This collection is different from the permanent collection in that it is not meant primarily for display and research, but useful as part of a demonstration on its use and will be subject to rough handling by children.

Yes: No:

4.) Please describe damage or deterioration of any kind (including rot, mold or mildew, corrosion, pest activity and insect holes, water stains, cracks, tears, etc.):
