Objects and documents must meet certain criteria before being accepted by the Historical Society:

1. All objects must meet the collection policy of the Perry Historical Society before being considered for acquisition.
2. The Historical Society may not accept all items in a donation for which it cannot provide proper storage, protection, preservation or maintenance. Large items cannot be accepted due to limited display space in the Museum.
3. All donations to the Perry Historical Society are accepted with the understanding that they are offered without conditions as to placement, exhibition or ultimate disposition of the items. All rights of publication become the property of the Perry Historical Society upon acceptance.
4. All objects and documents must be documented if at all possible as to provenance. Items must be in good physical condition.
5. All non-monetary donations to non-profit organizations are tax deductible. Federal tax laws require that donors obtain appraisals for items given to non-profits such as the Perry Historical Society. All appraisals are done by the donor and at the donors expense.
6. All donations to the Perry Historical Society will be considered outright and unconditional gifts to the Society.
