If I donate materials to the Naperville Heritage Society (NHS), will they be returned upon my request?
NHS cannot return accessioned items to donors. Once the Acquisition Committee approves the acceptance of your proffered donation into the museum's permanent collection, a Deed of Gift is issued by the registrar and signed by the donor. This document provides transfer of legal ownership of the item to the Naperville Heritage Society.
