Support the Chalver Museum
Your Support Keeps Ancient Mysteries Alive
The Chalver Museum operates on a minimal annual budget of approximately $80,000. Every donation, large or small, directly supports our research, preserves our collection, and keeps the doors open for future generations of scholars and curious minds.
Why We Need Your Help
As a small independent museum, we face constant financial challenges. Unlike larger institutions, we have no endowment, limited grant opportunities, and minimal visitor revenue. Our work continues solely through the generosity of donors who believe, as we do, that every ancient script represents an invaluable piece of human heritage worth preserving.
Your donations support:
- Research into undeciphered writing systems
- Conservation and preservation of our collection
- Maintenance of our historic building
- Academic publications and scholarly collaboration
- Free admission for students and researchers
- Operating costs (utilities, insurance, supplies)
