South Australian Aviation Museum


Donating to SAAM

SAAM's primary focus is on collecting, preserving and displaying items that relate to South Australian Aviation History.
  • SAAM also accepts donations of items that relate to Australian Aviation History generally
  • SAAM can only accept items if you have clear legal title.
  • Donated items must fit within the Museum's Collection and Management Policy.
  • Donated items will be displayed or stored for future reference at the museum's discretion
  • SAAM reserves the right to sell or trade donated items to other aviation museums.
  • If you have items you would like to donate, please call us on 08 82401230 (between 10am and 4pm).

In the case of books, models and other common items, SAAM staff will compare them with items that we have in our collection and decide whether to keep them or place them for sale on our trading table or sell them at special events. In the case of models specifically, we are keen to obtain good quality 1/48 scale models of RAAF types.


If you are in the position to help us financially, you can donate directly to SAAM at our front desk. If you would like your donation to be tax-deductable, you can donate to our not-for-profit foundation. For more information on the SAAM Foundation, click here to go to the website.
