The
State Historical Society of Iowa’s Museum maintains
diverse collections, related to Iowa and its citizens.
An item
offered for donation to the museum will be reviewed
by the professional staff to determine if it fulfills
the SHSI Collecting Plan, does not duplicate existing
items, and to ensure that the society can adequately
care for the item.
If an item
is not selected, the staff will suggest other options
to the prospective donor.
To
offer an item for donation to the Museum,
simply select Offer
of Donation form. Your offer will be emailed
directly to a museum specialist and you will receive
a response within 30 days.
To
ask a question of a Museum specialist, simply
choose the Ask
a Museum Specialist form. Your question
will be emailed to a specialist and you will receive
a response within 30 days. You may also ask a question
by selecting a staff member from the List
of Specialists.
Note:
The society may identify an item and provide historic
interpretation. However, it cannot provide an appraisal
of the value of an item.
