Va. Historical Society asks for book donations

The Virginia Historical Society (VHS) in Richmond is looking for donations of gently used hardcover and softcover fiction and nonfiction books. VHS is asking that they be in good condition and have a historical connection. VHS is especially interested in collecting books about WWI and the 1960s civil rights movement, as both topics have commemorated anniversaries recently.

All books collected will be sold at deeply discounted prices during the VHS Book Sale, Friday, June 3rd—Sunday, June 5th.

Books may be donated to the VHS Pusey Museum Shop during regular business hours: Monday–Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Textbooks, reference books, magazines, and periodicals have not been the best sellers. We can suggest other places that might be interested in collecting these items.)

Donations are tax deductible. All money raised from the book sale will be used to support VHS educational initiatives.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to go through your collection to find books to donate to our sale. Don’t forget to save the dates, June 3rd—5th, so that you can replenish your personal library.

For questions about book donations or the sale, call the museum shop, 804.342.9671, or send an email to Jessica DeRuosi, Senior Retail Officer at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
