Donating to the collections

​

Do you have an object, photograph or document that you think the Museum would be interested in adding to its collections? Please send an email with as much information about the item and its history as possible to info@ocnjmuseum.org. Please include a photograph. A committee will review the item before accepting the donation. 

​

The acquisition of materials for the Museum is an important part of our job to preserve the history of Ocean City. Most of the items and photographs you see in the Museum were gifts from donors like you. Thank you for your interest!
