Donations
The Fashion Archive welcomes donations that will further the collecting plan to acquire dress and related objects of outstanding aesthetic quality, technical construction, and interesting provenance. ​

Please Note: We began the process of conducting an assessment of the collection in June 2021, and will not be accepting donation requests at this time. We will consider donation requests once the assessment is concluded.
With limited storage, resources, and time, we can only accept items that are in good to near perfect condition. If you are interesting in donating, send an inquiry email regarding your donation to thefashionarchive@ches.ua.edu. ​
​Due to the costs and time associated with accessioning, we cannot accept all offered donations. ​​In order to ensure all proper procedures are followed, do not drop off or send items to The Fashion Archive.
The Acquisition Committee is charged with approving items offered for donation. This committee convenes twice during the academic year - in the fall and spring.
