Q. How do I donate an artifact to the Living Heritage Museum?
Q. Can I bring an object to the Museum for appraisal?
A. The Museum staff is forbidden by federal law from providing any information on the value of objects donated or potentially donated to the Museum as the IRS considers such activity by a 501c(3) a conflict of interest, so you may want to find a qualified appraiser to examine your object before donation. These appraisers can then be contacted to determine the level of their accreditation, expertise, experience, and fees, and to request a portfolio containing their qualifications. Although an initial discussion may be complimentary, appraisers charge for their consultations, travel, photography, and time.
