West Linn Historical Society Donations Policy

The West Linn Historical Society is always seeking donations of all kinds.  As a federal 501C3 tax exempt organization, your donations may be tax deductible.   While we would appreciate donations of photos, maps, multimedia recordings, books, and other historic artifacts or archives, funding is always needed to properly digitize, archive and store all physical donations.  We strongly suggest that all physical donations include a monetary portion to support the maintenance and storage of the items.
