Donations

When you donate to the City of Vaughan Archives, your materials become part of the larger Vaughan story. The Vaughan Archives is always looking for donations to add to its existing collection and to preserve the City’s heritage for future generations. The Archives is particularly interested in obtaining photographs, maps, diaries and letters, as well as church, business and organizational records.

Records may be donated, loaned for copying or placed on long-term deposit. Donors will be asked to sign a Gift Agreement, relevant to the materials being transferred to the Archives, which will include terms of ownership, copyright and access. All donated materials will be preserved according to current archival standards, stored in a climate-controlled, secure environment and may undergo conservation treatments to ensure their longevity.

If you are considering donating materials or would like more information on each level of donation, please contact us – we’d love to hear from you! Wherever possible, please do not sort, discard or repair records before the Archives has had an opportunity to view them.
