Donate Artifacts

The public can help enrich our collections by donating artifacts related to the rich history of the Packard automobile, including advertising art, parts, photographs, and more. We use these items in our exhibits and educational programs, and make them available to interested scholars and researchers. We are very selective of the items we accept. While we wish we could accept any and all offers, the Museum has neither the storage capability nor the staff resources to accept everything. We generally do not consider unsolicited donations, nor can we promise to display loaned or donated items. Our curatorial team is very focused on telling the complete Packard story, and donation offers are accepted after a rigorous selection process.

If you have a Packard item of interest please send a detailed description, with photos if possible, to info@americaspackardmuseum.org. After careful consideration, staff will direct you for further action. The entire team at America’s Packard Museum thanks you for thinking of us!
