A photo plaque can work to show a historical scene with donor names superimposed right onto the photo. There is a lot of room for creative ideas with this method; photo montage, showing old and new, etc.
These are mounted on a light-weight rigid substrate and can be put into a wooden or metal frame. Sizes and proportions are flexible.

Bronze and Aluminum Plaques & Markers for donor recognition, memorials, dedications, awards, etc.
Symbols of Generosity
A bronze or aluminum plaque can be an appropriate way of showing appreciation for volunteerism or major donations. If you are looking for a long lasting tribute to a major contributor, the beauty of a bronze plaque is hard to beat. Encourage new donors by recognizing generous gifts and publicly honoring your contributors with these plaques.
These plaques are clear-coated and oven-baked with a two part hardened acrylic polyurethane.
Standard colors are black, maroon, violet toner, dark blue, green, brown and duranodic bronze.
Maximum dimensions in metal are 24 inches by 40 inches
For schools, colleges, churches, and civic organizations, these plaques project an image of prestige and dignity and add to the professional quality of any architectural environment.
Differentiating Between Your Donors
When people give different amounts of money for a project or memorial, etc., it is often left up to the organization to figure out an appropriate way to recognize everyone and still differentiate according to amount of donation.
If you've never done this before, and don't know where to start, consider this a template for a potential system you can use.
