Learn more about what artifacts are being accepted for donation at The National World War II Museum.

Our collection consists of objects ranging in size from tiny uniform buttons to large military aircraft. Our donors understand that as America’s WWII Museum, we will be a resource to researchers and educators for generations to come.

In addition to preserving your historic objects it is important to remember to preserve the history or story that goes with them. For example the uniform worn by your father when he fought in the Pacific is just a uniform if the story is lost.

Alone, the bell is a small gift. But in the context of a global, world-changing moment, it becomes invaluable.
