Museum Sponsorship

Gifts and grants from individuals and institutions are welcome to help build the virtual museum and archive, and may be designated as sponsor of the accession of specific material. Sponsorships may be made in memory or in honor of an individual(s). Please contact the Executive Director for further information.

The following guidelines will be used with all designated gifts:

  • The SEC Historical Society is solely responsible for the authority and objectivity of the content of the museum collection.
  • Donors may recommend material for accession in the collection, including subjects for oral histories interviews, and participants in programs. The Executive Director, in consultation with the Museum Committee, has the final determination on selection of all material added.
  • The Society may work with academics and other professionals in the building of the museum. The selection and work of academics and professionals will be the responsibility of the Society, and will be independent of any donor.
