Who should I talk to about an object that I might want to donate?
The National Museum of American Jewish History wants to hear about your object donation offer because donations from individuals like you improve our artifact collection. Each offer is important to us and receives the same careful consideration. For more information, please call 215.923.3811 x 138 or click here to send a note to the Collections Committee.
Your offer will be presented to a committee that will determine whether the NMAJH is the appropriate repository for the object(s). The committee meets each month and will consider criteria such as the condition of the object, whether the object is pertinent to the Museum's mission, and whether the Museum collection already includes an identical example of the object. You will be asked to provide a photograph and information about the object.
