Artifact Donation

The Reece Museum currently houses over 23,000 artifacts that tell the story of Appalachia at a regional, local, and global level. The artifacts in the Reece Permanent Collection represent a broad and eclectic range of both fine art and historically significant items, which the museum continues to collect.

We welcome gifts and donations of quality works of art and historical objects that support our mission to serve the Appalachian region, and that reflect the needs and interests of ETSU and the general community. 

To inquire about donating, please email Rebecca Proffitt at proffittrj@etsu.edu.

Each possible donation is assessed by our Collections Committee, and we appreciate as much information as you can provide about where the item came from, who owned it or made it, the year it was made, and a photo of the item.
