Donations
We greatly appreciate any interest that you have in donating your photographs, documents, objects, and books to our collections. If you have an object or objects you would consider donating to the Talbot Historical Society, please email the General Manager at , or call 410-822-1287.
To expedite your inquiry, please send an image of the possible donation and any information you know about its history. Please do not bring potential donations to the Talbot Historical Society without an appointment with a Museum staff person. We are not prepared to take donations without a prior appointment.
Criteria for Donations
When considering the donation of an object to the Talbot Historical Society please be aware that all objects presented for accessioning must specifically relate to Talbot County, have historic or artistic merit, and meet the criteria of the Society’s collection policy. As we are an organization with limited storage and a limited scope, we reserve the right to decline any donation. If we are unable to accept your donation, we may be able to direct you to an organization that is better suited to taking it.
Current Priorities
We are currently focusing on accepting donations connected to capturing the COVID-19 pandemic in Talbot County. For more information on this project, please visit our webpage here.
