Donate Historical Items

 

If you have items of historical value to the Upper Arlington Historical Society (i.e. old Norwester Magazines, newspaper ads, items relating to the King Thompson Co.) that you would like to donate, please contact us as at info@uahistory.org.

In addition, the Upper Arlington library occasionally holds "Digitization Days" for local organizations and residents to bring in items that have historical significance, but with which they do not want to physically donate. Images of these items are scanned and noted for their historical significance. If you wish to participate in one of these scanning days, please let us know at the email address above.


Deed of gift form

All donations will require the completion of a Deed of Gift form, giving the Society permission to use the donated items within our collection as we see fit. Donors will complete their portion of the form with their submission and the Society will mail the final signed version.
