Do you accept donations? 
  • Yes. Heritage Services is interested in collecting artifact and archival material that speaks to the history and culture of Halton.
Do you accept all donations?
  • Not necessarily. Decisions about whether to accept a proposed donation are based on how well the donation would help us meet our objectives to preserve the material and cultural heritage of Halton Region.
Will I receive a tax receipt for my donation? 
  • If you are interested in receiving a tax receipt for your donation, please let us know when proposing it so that we may discuss your options with you.
How does Heritage Services decide which donations to accept? 
  • When you propose a donation, we consider:
    • Whether there are already similar items in the collection and whether the proposed donation would be a better example;
    • What topics, themes and possible exhibits or programs the donation could support;
    • Its physical condition and need for conservation or restoration treatment; and
    • Whether we have the resources to properly care for it.
Please describe the material you wish to donate by answering as many of the following questions as you can.

If you have images of your proposed donation, please attach them below. Attachments should total no more than 8MB. Acceptable file formats are: jpg, jpeg, tiff, pdf, gif, png.
