Support the Martha's Vineyard Museum
Your Gifts at Work
Thank you to all the members and friends who donated to the Museum's Annual Appeal in November and December. The Museum relies on your gifts to support exhibitions, lectures, educational programs, and research. We are very grateful for your generosity, and look forward to your visiting us in 2012. There's always something new to learn at the Martha's Vineyard Museum!

GIFTS TO THE COLLECTIONS
A donation to the collections is the gift of history. Gifts of photographs, personal papers, scrimshaw, and logbooks related to the Vineyard are very important to the Museum, and we are honored by your selecting the MVM as the steward of your precious item or document. Our Collections Policy describes in detail what we collect and how we will steward your gift or you can contact the Museum's Chief Curator Bonnie Stacy at 508-627-4441 x111.
