If even a thousand CDs could be sold through this portal, it wouldn't cover half the costs of restoring this library as it stands today, or re-doing album graphics, or even the work that went into this site. Domain registration, hosting fees, Paypal takes a cut (it even costs us to recieve your donation!). This project wasn't originally funded by any group or organization, no sponsorship or funding from any source other than from our own pockets. It was done solely as a labour of love; a sense of recognition and appreciation to this recording era of Doukhobor music. If people like the fact that a high quality Doukhobor music library is growing online, and people are able to listen and download freely, there's nothing wrong in asking for support. Without support, this site will inevitably go into obscurity, record restoration will simply cease, and no further archiving of additional libraries will take place. |
