Do I have to get in touch before sending you materials?

Yes. Archives & Special Collections does not accept unsolicited donations in person or via mail. 

Can you tell me how much my rare book or collection materials are worth?

We are not able to provide appraisals. Instead, we suggest you work with an appraiser. To find an appraiser, you can search the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America’s directory
