Artifact Donations

The Hudson River Maritime Museum gladly accepts Hudson River-related historical objects and artifacts for donation. These may include ephemera and memorabilia from Hudson River boats, historic photographs, letters and manuscripts, ledgers and receipts, and historic books as well as larger objects such as ship name signs, parts of Hudson River ships, model ships, tools, and materials relating to Hudson River Valley industries such as brick making, ice harvesting, bluestone quarrying and carving, boat building, etc.

The Curator has final say on any and all donations and reserves the right to refuse donations which are not suited to our collections. 

If you have an item you would like to donate, please contact Curator Allynne Lange at curator@hrmm.org or 845-338-0071 ext. 14. You must arrange an appointment before bringing your donations to the museum. 

Donate to Support the Collection

If your donated item is particularly large or in need of restoration, please consider donating funds toward its preservation and maintenance. It costs museums annually to maintain climate control in collections storage and archival areas, to pay for acid-free storage materials, and to catalog, track, and digitize items for public benefit. 

Leading museum associations estimate this cost to be anywhere from $75 to $250 per item annually. Such donations will be earmarked for collections use only in the museum's restricted collections fund. 

Additional earmarked donations for the collections fun not accompanying donated items are gratefully accepted, as the museum has over 20,000 individual artifacts and archival items.
