There are a number of ways in which you or your company can donate to the San Joaquin County Historical Society and Museum.  You can make a cash donation to the General Fund. You can help build the Society’s Endowment. Or you can give a gift in memory of a friend or loved one.

For more information on these types of donations, please contact Ute Gampp at Lodi phone number (209) 331-2055, Stockton phone number (209) 953-3460, or utegampp@sanjoaquinhistory.org.

To donate your time and expertise as a volunteer please see the Volunteer page.

If you would like to donate historic artifacts, documents, or photographs important to the history of San Joaquin county, please contact the Museum. If what you want to donate is in line with the mission and collections guidelines of the Historical Society, is not a duplicate, and is something that the Society and Museum can effectively store and maintain, the Museum will arrange to gather the necessary information to take to the Collections Committee of the Society’s Board of Trustees. 

The Collections Committee will make a decision as to whether to accept your possible donation, and their recommendation will ultimately be acted upon by the full Board of Trustees. As you can see, managing the collections is very serious business—thanks for being patient and understanding of the importance of our process.
