Artifact Donations
We have acquired most of our artifact collection through the generosity of the public. Potential artifact donations must meet specific criteria and the approval of the Collections Committee before being housed at the Pickering Museum Village.
Please make an appointment with us before bringing items to the museum village. Artifact donations are permanent and once approved by the Collections Committee, PMV assumes the responsibility to store, preserve, conserve, and exhibit the artifact, as it meets the needs, mandate, and policies of the museum.
Tax receipts are available for donations; however fair market value must first be established.
Please contact Ellen Tayles to make an appointment to discuss your potential artifact donation.
Photo Gallery: Pickering Museum Village Artifact Gallery will appear here on the public site.
PMV is currently seeking:
- household items and furnishings between the years 1900 to 1920
- stories about Pickering (oral history recording can be performed by museum staff)
- photographs related to Pickering and Pickering families (1860s to 1920)
- Pickering family genealogy
In-Kind Donations
If you prefer to donate something specific, PMV has many needs, from reproduction items for programming, to food and tents for special events, to giftware for sale in our Gift Shop! Contact PMV to discuss items that may be meaningful to you, your family and friends, or your business to provide for the museum village. Please contact Katrina Pyke for more information.
Monetary Donations
PMV gratefully accepts financial support from generous donors. Donations assist the museum village to fulfill its mandate to preserve, conserve, interpret, and share community memories, stories, and material and heritage culture. Please make cheques payable to the City of Pickering, and mail or deliver to the PMV so that your donation can be applied directly to PMV, or contact us for more information.
Bequeath a Legacy
A bequest to PMV in a will enables you to leave behind tangible support of heritage, and ensures that the museum village will benefit directly from your generosity.
