Potential Donation Form
Please complete this form with as much information as possible for our review and consideration.

The Minnesota Historical Society accepts only a small proportion of materials offered due to the breadth of our current holdings. Space constraints and our commitment to sustainable stewardship and best practices play a central role in our collecting criteria.

We do our best to respond within 6 weeks. 

Some offers may take longer to review. 
Thank you for thinking of us!
