How You Can Support This Website!

When I retired from the University of Massachusetts, it was necessary to find a new home for my website(s). I was first given a home on a museum network, but the number of accesses to this website overwhelmed their network and it was necessary to move these sites to a commercial server. Since that time, the number of accesses to these sites has continued to grow. Recently, my ISP became distressed about the number of hits that the server (virtual) was receiving. I was required to upgrade the server with a resulting considerably greater monthly cost.

I am committed to keeping the site available and happily volunteer my time to try to fix broken links and to add links to new sites. However, there remains a considerable out of pocket expense for me to supply the server and the Internet connectivity. At the moment, this is coming directly out of my retirement checks. Therefore I am taking advantage of this opportunity to "pass the hat" to those who make use of this website. Whereever you find the box seen here, you can make a small contribution toward keeping this site functioning, Amazon.com is now providing a method to allow people to make contributions to support websites that they visit, without having to directly deal with the technology and costs of electronic transactions themselves. If you already have an Amazon.com account, then it is extremely simple for you to make a small contribution. If not, it is almost as simple to open an account that will allow you to make such contributions and to buy books, movies, software, and more. These transactions are all secure and private. I will not know the names of those who contribute to support this website, but I thank you all for your support. If you would like to make a small contribution toward the continued operation and availability of this website, please click the button above and you will find the process very simple. The suggested contribution is only a few dollars. The maximum contribution that can be made in this way is $50.00.

Additional ways to help

Buying books through this site, whether the books have direct links or the search box is used, will give a small commission to the site. At the current rate, approximately 1/8 of the cost of the site is paid for by book sales through the site. Choosing to regularly make your book purchases through this site will help support the site costs. You may also use my Half.com book shop for used books.
