Our appeal for a microfiche and film scanner and associated equipment is well on the way to its goal.
By mid-February, generous donors had contributed more than 60%, $12,400, of the $20,000 we need to be able to purchase the equipment and start scanning.
We owe special thank-yous to everyone who has already donated, some with extraordinarily generous gifts.
We're near, but have a way to go.
If you have not made a donation yet, would you be prepared to help get us over the line and enable our volunteers to start scanning?
Whether it be $50, $100, or even $1,000 or $5,000, every gift will bring us closer to being able to save and secure our microfiche and film records, for the use of current and future generations of members.
Donations to the GSV are tax-deductible. They can be made online through the Donate Now link on the GSV website homepage, or by calling the GSV (on 9662 4455) with your credit card details, or by a cheque in the mail (to Level 1, 10 Queen Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000).
With your support, I hope my next note to you is to announce that we have reached our goal.
Thank you in advance.
