Donation Distribution

If your specimen(s) meet our current collection criteria, they may be integrated into the Scientific Collections and catalogued in accordance with our Collections Policy. Specimens that are deemed to be of non-research and non-display quality will be added to our Learning Collection, where they are used for hands-on learning experiences with students and the general public. Additionally, we welcome donations of suitable fossil or mineral materials for sale in our museum shop, with all proceeds reinvested into supporting the museum's ongoing sustainability and research efforts.
