Yes, MaryAnn, I have been considering it and talked to BPARAH about it. Razoo (http://www.razoo.com/) is one fundraiser that I may use in the future for that. Isabella On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 10:02 AM, MaryAnn Santos m...@nyu.edu wrote: Isabella, might you consider one of the crowd sourcing

I went to Terceira for two reasons, one to do research on my family and the second one, where I spent most of my time, was to help the BPARAH on the conservation of their archives and library. Unfortunately, only one room of the library has humidity control (for the rare docs and books)
