Support us financially

Films, tapes, recordings, photographs and costumes all deteriorate over time and need constant care. It's a costly, specialised and ongoing job. But it's work we love. You can make a difference and help us protect and share more of these priceless treasures. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
