About Korean Image Archive
Goals
I always end up spending more than this every month in order to collect more slides & photos, buy archival material, and pay any fees that arise since the Archive is an official legal entity. My first financial goal is to find enough support to cover recurring expenses that keep the 2000+ images I've collected and digitized online and freely available to the public. I'm so grateful to anyone who contributes.
$60 a month covers the following expenses:
- Image editing software subscription
- Domain & email registration
- Website creation platform
- Additional cloud storage to backup digitized files
