Donate to the Collection

The Society collects historical items that are unique to Waukegan, tell Waukegan stories and have a local connection. If you have documents, images or artifacts that you believe would complement our collections, please tell us about them by completing the online form below.

All potential donations are evaluated by the Museum Curator, who may contact you with any follow-up questions. Donations are then reviewed by our Museum Collections & Library Committee. If the committee decides the materials will strengthen our collections, they will contact you. For questions about the donation process, please contact the Museum Curator at museum@waukeganhistorical.org or (847) 336-1859.
