Please note: SCARC is unable to accept unsolicited, "drop-in" donations. Subject experts, curators, our Head of Processing, or our Department Head must first: meet with potential donors; assess the contents of the collection and gauge its fit with existing collecting policies; and explain various aspects of SCARC's Deed of Gift paperwork and gather signatures from all parties. Additionally, SCARC staff work hybrid schedules as onsite operations allow, and are not always available to make collection decisions on a drop-in basis, or without having had these preliminary conversations.
If you have questions about a possible donation or transfer, please contact us in advance at scarc@oregonstate.edu and (541) 737-2075, so that we can begin communication with you.
