Donations
The SWFLHS accepts donations of Southwest Florida historical artifacts, maps and documents that are deemed relative to the mission of the organization which is to preserve and archive the history of the area. Unlike a museum, our primary purpose is to archive historical documents and photos for research by the public. We are not able to accept large, bulky objects that may be better suited for a museum. If we are not able to accept your gift, we may return it to you or pass it on to another organization or group that could best be served having it or, as a last resort, to trash the items if we are not able to place them.
We also welcome your financial donations to assist with the ongoing building maintenance and monthly operating expenses. In addition, we are starting a Capital Improvement Fund to help cover the cost of some significant building repairs that are needed for the aging building to keep it operational for the public.
