Donation of Objects
The Laconia Historical & Museum Society welcomes the donation of objects that will complement and fulfill our current collections. As outlined below, LHMS follows a policy of selective acquisition. Each donation request is thoughtfully considered by the Collections Committee and is reviewed by the Board of Directors to determine if the gift is in line with the specific criteria for the acquisition and acceptance of donations, as outlined in the Society’s Collections Policy; any object accepted into the Society’s collection should be consistent with the mission, be relevant, and be in good condition.
Please refrain from dropping off donations for LHMS to the Laconia Public Library prior to filling out the form and being contacted by a collections committee representative.
For your donation to be considered for the collection, please fill out this form and return to:

Note: Due to restrictions of limited funds, storage space, and concerns of an object’s preservation needs, only inquiries which are of specific interest and in line with the Collection Policy criteria will be considered.
