Donations

We collect objects which tell the stories of Dunedin and Otago and its peoples, through successive waves of migration through to the present day.

All donation offers are guided by Toitū’s collection policy and must first be submitted to our Acquisitions Committee for review and consideration. If a donation is accepted by the Committee we will arrange for delivery or collection of the item(s). We do not accept unsolicited donations or any donation offers outside of this process.

If you have an item you wish to donate, as a first step please contact one of our curators:
