Wish List

The Paper Discovery Center has a growing “wish list” and gratefully accepts donations of supplies and equipment.  In addition to helping reduce necessary purchase costs, donations can also provide you with a productive and adaptive reuse of your unwanted materials. Our list varies all the way from archival needs for collections storage to craft supplies and old greeting cards to enhance our Paper Lab experiences. If you have an item to donate, you may request a tax donation letter to assist you in your record keeping. For more details and a listing of our most pressing needs, click here.
