Material Donation Policy

Donations of Material / Objects

 

The Society has a large collection of donated materials. Without the careful collection and preservation of such material, the generations of our future will not be able admire / study / be curious of our past history.

 

The Society welcomes donations but due to a number of reasons our curator(s) may have to be selective in the materials / objects they select. The curator(s) will consider the material / objects for it's relevance to the district, if there any existing holdings of the same item within the collection, space restrictions, the condition of the materials / objects, etc.

​

Prior to donating the materials / objects to the Society we recommend you speak to your family to ensure their wishes are considered in the donation.

​

On the receipt of materials we will enter into agreement with the donor regarding the materials and transfer of ownership by signing the "Deed of Gift" document.

​

From time to time and it is unfortunate and the decision is not taken lightly, the Society may have to dispose of some donations.
