DONATION OF ARTIFACTS

DONATIONS OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE PUBLIC CONTRIBUTE TOWARD THE COLLECTION OF THE COOK COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE CANNOT ACCEPT EVERYTHING PEOPLE WISH TO DONATE. OUR STAFF WILL EVALUATE ANY OFFERED ARTIFACT, AND DETERMINE IF IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ADDITION TO OUR COLLECTION.

To discuss a donation, contact Katie Clark at katie@cookcountyhistory.org. Please do not bring donations to the museum without first making an appointment with a staff member at CCHS.

When possible, email all information about your donation, along with photographs. Please be sure to include your contact information and any additional information you may have about the artifact/photo.
