Did you know I was featured in @archive.org's Vanishing Culture Report? 1,300 filmstrips preserved. 3,000 more waiting.
Hitting our GoFundMe goal for 2026 would buy 12 months of full-time work on this. We're currently only at $254.

1,300 filmstrips preserved and on @archive.org. 3,000 to go.
Our 2026 GoFundMe is only at $254 of $30K. Hitting our goal means saving them full-time instead of doing DoorDash, and prevent thousands of films from becoming #lostmedia.

Last year I raised $6,000 of a $30,000 goal for filmstrip preservation. That means I spent most of my time doing DoorDash instead of safeguarding them at @archive.org.
This year I'm trying to be honest about what I need. Even a small donation makes a difference.
