ARCHIVAL DONATIONS

The History Center in Tompkins County is a local history museum and our collections are focused on preserving the material culture of Tompkins County. We can accept donations based on the following criteria:

The material must be of local origin, or somehow connect to Tompkins County's past.
It must be in good condition, and needs to be something that can be managed based on our space and organizational constraints.
The material should not duplicate something that already exists in another local repository.
All donation decisions are at the discretion of the archivist, curator, and Collections Committee.
