We have acquired most of our artifact collection through the generosity of the public. Potential artifact donations must meet specific criteria 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, PMV assumes the responsibility to store, preserve, conserve, and exhibit the artifact, as it meets the needs, mandate, and policies of the museum.
The Pickering Museum Village maintains two collections, our Core Artifact Collection and our Education Collection. Find out more about these collections and the donation process.
Please contact our Conservator Ellen Tayles-Armstrong to make an appointment to discuss your potential artifact donation.
