Museum or Military Abandoned Property

Our office has a list of abandoned properties left in museums, historical societies, zoological gardens, aquariums, botanical gardens, arboreta and other such institutions. These items are listed on our website for 180 days. If no one comes forward to prove ownership to the property prior to or within 30 days after the listing, the museum acquires title to the property.

We also list military awards, medals or decorations found among the contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes. Military items are held by the Division of Military and Naval Affairs. These items remain on our website until they are claimed. Contact the Division of Military and Naval Affairs to claim an item.

Instructions for reporting these items to the Office of Unclaimed Funds can be found in the Handbook for Reporters of Unclaimed Funds.

If you have questions about items on the list, please contact the Office of Unclaimed Funds.
