The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust accepts donations of historic materials, original objects and funds to strengthen its museum and research holdings, and to authentically furnish the interiors of the Oak Park Home and Studio and the Robie House.

A Restricted Acquisition Fund has been established expressly for acquiring original and historically significant objects and materials integral to the Preservation Trust's museum sites, research and special collections. At this time, we are seeking in particular furnishings and decorative objects original to the Frederick C. Robie House.

Much of the material on permanent exhibit at the Preservation Trust's two historic sites has been acquired through donation. Materials that are donated to the Preservation Trust are preserved for future generations and are made available for the education and enjoyment of the general public, and for research by scholars and students.

Inquiries concerning the donation of funds, artifacts, or historic materials should be directed to the Curator of Collections: 708.848.1976 x242 or . All contributions to the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
