Donate to the Museum

The St. Marys Museum is currently accepting donations of artifacts and archival material into the Collections by appointment only. We are extremely judicious about adding to the collections and want to ensure that everything we collect is of high quality and fits within our mandate.

Guidelines

Before calling to schedule your appointment, please ensure that you understand the following general guidelines:

• Artifacts must be historically significant, meaning they would contribute to an understanding of past human behaviour, customs, activities, events, institutions and personalities. The artifacts collected must be historically significant to Town of St. Marys or the surrounding rural area.
• Objects must be in reasonable condition so that the Museum may fulfill its goal of preservation with as little conservation or restoration as possible.
• Display of objects is not guaranteed.
• Donations are deemed to be unconditional gifts.

If you wish to donate an artifact to St. Marys Museum, prior arrangements must be made with the Curator. Please contact us at 519-284-3556 to schedule an appointment.
