Now you may realize you’ve got stuff like this lying around. And you may be thinking your stuff is too insignificant to donate.

Oh contraire!!

50, 100 or 300 years from now, those “insignificant” artifacts will be helping future generations get an idea of what GLBT culture was really like in our time.

So don’t just toss those items out.  Donate them to the Tretter Collection and save Jean the effort of dumpster diving!
