Donating to the Archives

Do you have something to donate to the Archives?  Let us know!

A few guidelines for donations:

• Archives staff will review the materials you wish to donate--unfortunately, not all items are appropriate for the scope of the Archives' collection.

• We can accept items of many formats: paper, photographs, bound volumes, audio or video recordings, and even digital files!

• At the time of donation, we will ask you to transfer any known rights you hold over the item(s) to us, which allows the Archives to let researchers have full access to the materials you donate.  Note that this means future researchers may make copies of item(s) donated for their personal use.

• While we are interested in accepting most items that are related to the history of the La Crosse area, the Archives already has all issues of the La Crosse Tribune in our collection, and will decline the offer of these items.
