If you would like to donate to our collection, please get in touch by using our online form, email or post.
To make sure we can evaluate your item properly, please provide as much information as possible, including:

Reviewing your donations
Our Town Hall Acquisition Committee meets 4 times a year to assess donations.
When reviewing items, we consider:
- How well the item fits within our collection policy
- Whether we have similar examples
- The condition of the object
- The historical significance and personal story behind it
Unfortunately, not all items will be suitable for our collection. If we decline your offer, we'll try to recommend other institutions that might be interested.
