"People’s generosity of spirit has created a collection of national importance which makes an invaluable contribution to research."
If you have a gift of cultural value, including rare books and manuscripts, works of art, or specialist collections, then you may be interested in helping scholars and the wider community study and enjoy them. We are keen to discuss the possibility of accepting your gift into the University's collections. The value of the property may be tax deductible under the Commonwealth’s Cultural Gifts program.
"We’ve received many wonderful gifts over time from contemporary Australian art to collections of South American butterflies," says David Ellis, Director of University Museums. "People’s generosity of spirit has created a collection of national importance which makes an invaluable contribution to research. And with 40,000 visitors to our collections each year including over 6,000 school students their gifts educate and inspire the wider community."
