Donating
Historic Items
In
accordance Brookside's Mission, the museum will collect material
and information that contributes to the understanding of Saratoga
County history. The
collections may include objects (3-dimensional artifacts), images
(photographs, paintings, drawings, etc.), manuscripts, published
works (books, journals, etc.), oral history, and research
conducted by staff and others.
As
custodians of Saratoga County's history, Brookside ensures that
materials placed in our care are preserved for generations to
come. Donating collections to SCHS ensures that the story of
Saratoga will become the record by which future generations
discover their past.
Donated
materials become the property of the Saratoga County Historical
Society via a Deed of Gift form. Please be certain that you are
ready and willing to hand over complete ownership of your items
unconditionally before you offer to donate. Because of the volume
of collections materials, it is not possible, nor prudent to
exhibit all of our collections. We cannot guarantee that donated
items will be exhibited.
Materials
are accepted in accordance with the criteria specified in the
Collections Policy of the Saratoga County Historical Society.
Brookside's staff reserves the right to accept or deny donations
based on appropriateness to the collection and staff and time
constraints.
