12 October, 2026 - Hosting Fees For The Next Three Years
This is a fundraising pitch.
Asking for money is never my favorite thing, but for the third time in my tenure managing this archive, the bills have come due. The renewal for the old hosting plan jumped in price to almost $2,000 in total so I made some adjustments and am working through the implications of splitting our website and storage locations to minimize cost and preserve accessibility.
Still and all, it's going to cost a little more than the last time. The amounts shown on the fundraising webpage include the processing fees from Throne, but in the following days I will post a more detailed breakdown of costs so you understand where your donations will end up. There will also be an accounting of donations so that you can see for yourself what funds come in and how they compare to our costs.
With gratitude, I have reactivated the fundraising page we used previously: https://throne.com/rollins-archive
UPDATE: Overnight we received a generous donation and are 1/4 of the way to our goal! Thank you very much.
