Anthropology Preliminary Donation Questionnaire

Contact Information
If you wish to have an appraisal completed, you will need to contact an outside appraiser as it is against the Museum’s policy to provide valuations.
Are you willing to donate if the object(s) would be used for the teaching /study/ hands-on collection (as opposed to the “permanent” collection)? Please note that object(s) used for any of these purposes can still be used toward charitable donation tax deductions.
