Gifts & Legacies
If your object is archival, contact the West Yorkshire Archive Service.
If you have an object or collection that you would like to give to Leeds Museums and Galleries, please send us an email with as much information about your object or collection as possible. One of our Curators will then contact you to discuss the donation further.
Our supporters
We are fortunate to be directly supported by a number of individual membership charitable organisations.
These groups support us by funding object and art purchases, conservation projects and special exhibitions, and it was the collections built up by the members of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society (LPLS) in the 19th century that became the core of the present Leeds collections.
