Donations:

We do accept donations of objects that will be added to the Museum's Collection, however the Museum and donor must adhere to the correct procedures. As there is also very limited space for new objects, either display or in our archives, then we do have certain criteria to meet and consider.

  • Is the object(s) related to Maldon, the District and its inhabitants?
  • Does the Museum have the storage space?
  • Does the Museum have it already?

To help us determine these, we ask that potential donors make intial contact with the Museum either via email or a direct message on one of our social media channels with details about the object(s) as well as personal contact details. Photos of the object(s) and dimensions will also be helpful. Items brought directly to the Museum may not be accepted immediately but on duty stewards will still ask for your contact details and take as much information about the object so that it may be discussed amongst Committee Officers for if we are to accept the donation or not.

Once a decision has been made then a Museum representative will contact the donor to arrange the transfer of the object(s). Donated items are listed and signed over between the donor (or someone representing the donor) and a representative from Maldon Museum in the Park (typically the Accessions and Archives Officer) on a hand-written Object Entry Form (OEF). The OEF is a triplicate sheet with two of the copies (the white and the blue) remaining with the Museum for our admin and a pink form which acts as a receipt for the donor to retain. Full terms and conditions are listed on the back of the OEF.
