Potential Acquisition - Donor Questionnaire

All donation services are by appointment only. Call 701.328.2666 to schedule or for more information.

Objects offered to the State Historical Society's museum collections will be considered by the Museum Collections Committee (meets once per month). Please complete this form in as much detail as possible so the committee will have adequate information to make an informed decision about your offer. Note that not all accepted objects are placed on public exhibit, but all will be preserved for future generations and may be used for reasons other than exhibit purposes, including (but not limited to) research, educational programs, publications, and loans to other museums.
