Give to the William A. Neal Museum of the Health Sciences
We welcome donations of objects that enhance the museum collection and fit the museum’s scope. We are happy to speak to potential donors. We will consider, but cannot accept all, offered donations due to limited storage space and resources.
Objects that fit the museum scope include:
- Items related to healthcare & health sciences related to West Virginia or West Virginia University
- Objects that represent the history of healthcare in West Virginia
- Items that represent the history of medical education and innovation at West Virginia University
- Objects related to alumni and West Virginians who have made significant contributions in the field of health care
Duplicate items will only be considered if they are in better condition than the object currently in the collection or have a documented history related to one of the points above.
Objects that are accepted into the museum collection become the property of WVU through a Deed of Gift. Display of objects is not guaranteed, but when an object is on exhibit the donor is recognized on the object label.
If you are interested in donating objects to the William A. Neal Museum of the Health Sciences, please contact us Including photos and information about the object in your email is very helpful.
For collections that are largely archival materials (papers and books), reach out to the West Virginia Regional & History Center about donating.
