Add to our collection

​We welcome offers of material that
  • contributes to Tasmania’s history and 
  • helps to fill gaps in our collections 
Donated material helps safeguard our documentary heritage for current and future generations. 

What kind of collection donations are accepted? 

Our priorities include:
  • records of Tasmanian businesses, community organisations, churches and other groups
  • letters, diaries, photos or other documents belonging to individuals or families living in Tasmania
  • unpublished or published creative writing by Tasmanians or set in Tasmania
  • Tasmanian photographs, prints or original works of art that document Tasmania's history
  • published or unpublished material on Antarctica and the whaling and sealing industries.
We reserve the right to accept or reject any donation if it does not further our objectives. LINC Tasmania may turn down items due to limited space, condition or appropriateness.
LINC Tasmania does not accept items sent on approval.
