Become a donor to the
National Museum of Roller Skating
The National Museum of Roller Skating is seeking donations of
artifacts, documents, and memorabilia related to roller skating.
Donations are tax-deductible up to the amount permitted by law.
For further information, contact the Museum Director at (402) 483-7551,
or by e-mail at directorcurator@rollerskatingmuseum.com. Please discuss
your potential donation with the Museum Director before sending any
materials to the museum.
The museum
is seeking items which:
- Reflect the history of roller skating on a
local, regional, national, and international level.
- Are not duplicates of artifacts already in the
collection and which the staff feel can be handled in terms of storage
and conservation.
The museum
is particularly interested in collecting:
- Any roller skating item from before 1900.
- Items documenting competitive roller skating
pre-1937.
- Costumes (used for either competitive or
entertainment events).
Appraisals
The museum staff is unable to provide appraisals of the monetary value
of materials offered as gifts, brought in for identification, or
submitted for any other purpose. Donors desiring appraisals must
themselves acquire and pay for a professional appraiser. Important: The
cost of an appraisal is also tax deductible if the gift is being given
to a qualifying charitable institution.
Donations
Gifts to the National Museum of Roller Skating are deductible from
taxable income in accordance with the provisions of the Federal income
tax law. Establishing the true monetary value of gifts is the
responsibility of the donor. The acceptance of an item at the donor's
appraised value does not imply endorsement of that value by the museum.
