Giving to Special Collections

The generosity of donors is essential to supporting our mission to collect, preserve, and provide public access to primary source materials in our collection areas! We deeply appreciate your help in providing financial support. Please feel welcome to contact the UWG Foundation or the Head of Special Collections if you have questions, or would like to craft your own way to support Special Collections.

Give to the UWG Special Collections Fund

The Special Collections Gift Fund is designed to enhance the research experience of our students, faculty, and other scholars. Your tax-deductible gift can support the technology enhancements that make our collections visible and available to scholars everywhere through digitization projects.

We manage several endowment funds for specific purposes. To learn more about directing your donation to support a specific endowment, contact special@westga.edu.
