Important
Notice About OSS Artifacts
It has come to our attention that collectors of OSS
artifacts may be identifying themselves as “official”
OSS historians. The OSS Society does not have an
official historian. If anyone identifies themselves as
such to you or has done so previously, please contact
us immediately.
The same collectors may be inducing OSS veterans and
others to part with their OSS memorabilia by promising
not to sell items donated to them or promising to
return them and not doing so. It is also our
understanding that collectors have not been properly
documenting these gifts. Without such documentation,
anyone to whom you donate OSS items is free to do with
them as they choose, including selling them. A
collection of espionage artifacts in Canada is being
auctioned for $1 million. People who donated items to
the collection are helpless to prevent their sale for
this very reason.
If you have OSS artifacts in your possession, The OSS
Society would be honored to receive them. We
respectfully ask that you consider donating them to The
OSS Society and not to private collectors so that your
donations can be properly documented and preserved. You
can also rest assured that your donated items will
never be sold or donated to a third party by The OSS
Society.
If you have items you wish to donate to The OSS
Society, please contact The OSS Society at
oss@osssociety.org, by telephone at 703-356-6667, or at
the following address: The OSS Society, 6723 Whittier
Ave., #200, McLean, VA 22101.
