Donate to Our Collections

JMM has the largest single collection of regional Jewish Americana in the U.S. Our collections include photographs and portraits, rare books and everyday objects, clothing, Judaica, documents, oral histories, and memorabilia.

The Jewish Museum of Maryland is temporarily not accepting donations for its collection. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to research@jewishmuseummd.org.

FAQ

Why aren’t you accepting artifact donations right now?

To accommodate the capital work being done on the Museum’s campus, the JMM building closed to the public beginning June 12, 2023.

While the Museum is an active construction site, we are not equipped to accept donations for the Jewish Museum of Maryland’s collection.

Will you start collecting new artifact donations again?

Yes, please check this page periodically for updates.

What if I need to donate my things somewhere now?

We recommend contacting other museums, historical societies, universities, or libraries to determine whether your materials may be a good fit for their collections. Some institutions to consider: 

Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History (Philidelphia, PA)

The Capital Museum (Washington D.C.)

The Jewish Museum (New York, NY)

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (Washington D.C.)

Maryland Center for History & Culture (Baltimore, MD)
