Our community archive and museum collection have been assembled over several decades through the generous donations of material from Latah County residents and their decedents. We accept a variety of materials that help us tell the story of Latah County's past, including, but not limited to:

• everyday objects

• clothing

• personal papers

• business or club records

• historic photographs

• oral histories

​

Our storage capacities are limited, so we have a difficult time accepting large items or record sets that exceed one or two boxes. 

​

We use the following criteria to determine if an item is appropriate for us to add to our collections.

• Object is relevant to events or persons of Latah County

• Object is of use in research, exhibit, or interpretation activities

• Object is not duplicated by another artifact in the collection

• Object is not damaged, excessively worn or weathered
