The Society is actively looking for donations of:

Unfortunately, we cannot accept 19th and 20th century clothing unless it is of exceptional quality and condition and relates to an important member of the Southold community.

However, we will accept items outside of the above listed categories to be sold to benefit the collections fund.  Items must be in good, saleable condition.  If you have items that you would like to donate for this purpose please contact the Society directly.
