Donations

Thanks to the generosity of individuals and organizations, the MBC annually acquires new programs, artifacts and documents. These donations help fulfill our mission of preserving and presenting America‘s rich television and radio heritage.

We do not accept donations through the mail without prior written communication. Read about where to donate old television sets or radios.

If you have programs, artifacts, or documents that you believe would complement the MBC‘s collection, please direct a letter describing the content, size, condition, format, and historical significance, (and when appropriate photographs or photocopies of your donation), to:
