Archive Research Service
We are constantly reminded of the costs incurred in the storage and digitizing of these archives. To date we have been able to cover these expenses with the time and money from a few dedicated people. But these funds are slowly running out and a plea for donations will always be present. The monthly costs for storage and the website hosting still have to be covered and we are turning to you to help us with sending in your donations. Any amount you can help out with will keep the archive growing.
Until we can build up a healthy reserve of funds we find it necessary to charge a small fee for some of the services offered by CMSA.
