Memorabilia Donation Policy – True to our mission, we continue to seek items illustrating the military history of the United States with particular emphasis on the service of our San Ramon Valley veterans, past and present.To enable our Library and Historical Collections staff to properly review and evaluate proposed donations beforehand, please do not “drop off” any items at the Veterans Memorial Building. Those who have suitable items for possible donation or loan should first document those items on our donor form available from the docents or by contacting [email protected]. Decision on acceptance will be made by the Collection Committee and the donor will be contacted.
Note from the Veterans Memorial Building Museum Curator: We are proud to display our special collection of items reflecting the military history of the United States. Memorabilia that specifically relates to local San Ramon Valley veterans are our particular, chartered focus. However our display space is very limited and we cannot display all of our items, even on a temporary basis. We must also refrain from accepting items into simple storage that may not likely be displayed in the future. As a consequence, we regret that we are no longer able to accept offers of service uniforms, books, newspapers or personal scrapbook items. Your support and understanding are greatly appreciated.
