91%! Entering our last week and more...
First off, thanks to all our supporters, new and old, for your contributions to our campaign, book suggestions, contacts, and more. We could not be as far along as we are without your active help and support!
I expected to be writing today about how proud I was that we passed the mid 80's in our progress toward our minimum funding goal but was blown away to discover that several new supporters yesterday pushed us all the way to 91%! But we're entering our last full week of this campaign and we still have a ways to go. We want to run, not limp, past the finish line. We are in full motion with the project, procuring materials (as discussed in earlier posts), getting permissions, and testing some of the new book scanning technology as if we already had all the funding! But to make it all a reality we have to keep pushing.
So that's what this is: the beginning of our final push. If you haven't already done so, please like our project on Facebook, share it there, put it on Twitter, tell some friends who share your passion for out-of-print books and other texts. This isn't only about us and our dream of making the ~Archive a part of our Institute. For many of you it's about establishing a way to find books you need, or think should be out there, and make them easily accessible. Thank you all for your support and let's make this final week our best week yet.
Finally, an important message from "Europe":
