Donate Historical Materials
Do you have any materials you think would make a great addition to the archives of the Burlingame Historical Society? Please contact us to discuss what you’d like to donate before discarding what could be a one-of-a-kind artifact: 650-340-9960.
Generally, if it has to do with Burlingame or Hillsborough, we want to know about it. Photos of the neighborhoods, home movies featuring Burlingame, old advertisements and signs from Burlingame businesses, you name it. However, we do have space limitations and follow collections guidelines to preserve what we already have. You won’t know if it’s a valuable addition to our archives until you give us a call.
Call us at 650-340-9960 to ask if we have any interest before you discard what could be a one-of-a-kind artifact.
