Donate

Your contributions allow us to continue telling the stories of Lennox and Addington County. Whether you are interested in donating material items to the Collection or a monetary contribution, we are so grateful for your support. Read on to learn more about the process.

Donating to the Museum & Archive Collection

Did you know that museum and archive objects don’t have to be “old” to be cool?  History happens every day and it is often the little things and quiet events that mean the most to us. The museum wants to help hold those memories for our future to remember. 

Do you have some cool things hiding in your attic and basement?  We collect all kinds of L&A stories…maybe you just might have what we are looking for.

How We Make our Decisions

We prioritize original Lennox and Addington made, stories, and people. One of a kind items, original paper records, and photographs are very important to the collections. Please keep in mind that a well documented item makes our decision making easier. Do you know the who, what, why, when and where of the piece you are offering to us?

Steps for Collection Review

  1. Submit the form below to the Museum with initial contact
  2. The Curator or Archivist will respond with more details. Please allow at least two weeks from the time of submission for a response. 
  3. You will then be contacted by the Curator or Archivist with a final decision.

Things to Remember

Drop offs without consent are not permitted and will be turned away.

Please be mindful that  collection storage is limited, we cannot accept everything, hence why it is reviewed. 

The items will be reviewed for Lennox and Addington relevance, uniqueness, condition, and impact to storage.
