How to Donate an Artifact
Before you donate an object, you should read the Acquisition Policy which will help you understand our criteria for collection
Once you are satisfied that your donation fulfills our criteria, contact the curator by e-mail at claremuseum@clarecoco.ie or telephone at 065-6823382 and you can arrange a time to meet the curator to make the donation.
When
the curator has agreed to accept the donation, a deposition form will be filled
out by the curator.
On this form, the name and type of artifact, where it was found, and its history
will be recorded for posterity, along with your name and address.
The donor will then be asked for his\her signature, and if the object is not a loan, also to sign an agreement that the object will be placed permanently in the care of Clare Museum
You will then be sent a copy of the form for your records, along with a Thank You letter.
Note: due to space restrictions, it will not be possible to display donated objects in the Riches of Clare Exibition, however, a representative sample of objects will be on display in the Recent Acquisitions section of this website.
