Donating Artifacts
The museum collects items related to the history of Orange County and
we are delighted to accept new artifacts into our collection.

-
All donations are subject to formal approval by the Exhibits Committee of the Board of Directors. Upon acceptance, the material becomes outright and unconditionally owned by the museum and may be used in any manner within the professional discretion of the Orange County Historical Museum. This may include the eventual disposal through deaccessioning from the permanent collection if deemed necessary according to Collections Policy guidelines.
