Donate Archives

Fellow custodians of the archives

Aquarius Archives Centre looks forward to accepting your donation when we finalise suitable storage. Please contact us for urgent salvage of archives.

We encourage you to organise, edit and label your archives before donating them please. The better you are able to look after your stories archives the better we will be able to continue that care and share your stories. Archives that are chaotic, messy, full of duplicates or severely damaged by mould or pests may be more than our volunteers are able or willing to manage. Whatever condition, we are glad to assess the significance of your collection and our capacity to look after it.

An important consideration for donations is that we should be able to provide for the storage, protection and preservation of the current collection and provide the basis for further expansion. We encourage donors of material to consider making a financial contribution, to reduce our costs in accepting and housing their donation.

Further details about our acquisition criteria can be found in our Collections Policy.
