Gifts and donations

The Virginia Historical Society began collecting books, manuscripts, maps, newspapers, photographs, and museum objects from its inception in 1831. The great majority of the contents of the fine collection that has been developed over the years has been received through the gifts of generous donors.

Should you have materials you think might be of interest for inclusion in the Society's holdings, please contact the appropriate staff member listed below in order discuss a potential gift. Some gifts may qualify as tax deductible donations.

As a private, non-profit organization, the Virginia Historical Society relies on the generous financial support of its friends and members. Gifts to the Annual Fund support all aspects of operations of the Society, including maintaining collections, mounting exhibits, producing society publications, educational services, training of volunteers, and staff. We also are pleased to discuss outright gifts, deferred gifts, gifts for special projects, and gifts of stock. More information
