Where to Send Items from Local Events
In response to the recent tragedy in Orlando, Stonewall National Museum & Archives (SNMA) has created a collection to house artifacts from remembrance vigils and events such as memorial materials, ephemeral (temporary) signs, flyers, and victim information. This can include cards, signs, scrapbooks, photographs, candles, personal items and physical items. Please do not send dried flowers, stuffed animals, or perishable items.
SNMA plans to create an exhibition on the tragic event that occurred at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando and will utilize items donated and collected for this purpose. Family members of the victims and survivors will be notified of the exhibition and will have an opportunity to view the exhibition in private prior to a public opening.
