Helping Out The eGallery

Many of our visitors have expressed interest in helping support the work done here at the Archive, and we really do need your support. We are incorporated as a non-profit organization, which means that donations are tax-deductible (see below). We are not supported by any outside organization. We do seek and receive grants ... but the majority of our funding comes from the generosity of readers and seekers, such as yourself.

Keeping everything online, and trying to find time to add to the content, is very challenging. At present, we have more than 9000 visitors to our websites on a daily basis, requiring an extensive investment in bandwidth and equipment (including 22 servers). And we're still recovering from the past two years of weather-related electrical problems that ruined a lot of equipment.

There are several ways you can help keep this valuable information online: You can donate online through our secure online payment system, by using Amazon.com or Paypal, or send your check or money order by regular mail. Archive TextAds are a non-intrusive way to get your message out to our large viewership. And, you can purchase “Steiner-inspired” items at the e.Lib Stuff shop at Café Press.

Your gifts are greatly appreciated and will help us bring some real art to the Web.
