Will I see my plaque before placing the order?

Yes, most of the drafts are handled via email with the donor. The plaque will be ordered only upon approval of the final draft by the donor and payment of half of the donation.

How long does the plaque production take?

Perspex plaques will be delivered 2 weeks after placing the order. Granite plaques will take approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

Can I choose where my plaque will be placed?

Plaques are placed by their size on designated columns, and will be placed according to the order in which donations are received.

Can I change the wording of an existing plaque to accommodate new names?

The Sydney Jewish Museum will try to accommodate such requests. However, a surcharge will apply as a new plaque will need to be ordered. If the size of the new plaque has changed, a written request must be completed to confirm a new location for the plaque of a different size.
