Do you have a piece of History?

If you have something you would like to offer, please complete the form below, or email donations@tasfootymuseum.com.au

Include as much detail as you can! This helps staff to assess whether the object is right for the collection:

A description/list of the object(s)
Photographs of the object(s)
A summary of the history or significance of the object(s), such as who used it, and when
The name and contact details of the current legal owner of the object(s)
The current location of the object(s).

All donation offers are assessed by our staff, and successful donations involve a transfer of ownership to the museum. The assessment process includes reviewing the history and significance of the items on offer, comparing similar material in our existing collections, and working closely with the donor throughout. This means it can take some time to complete!

Finally, we also can’t accept everything. There may be occasions where a donation is declined because the object:

Is duplicated within existing collections
Is badly damaged
Does not have clear provenance and history
Cannot be properly displayed, stored, conserved or cared for within the museum’s resources
Is offered with conditions (for example, that is must always be displayed)
Does not fit within the museum’s collection policies.
