Keeping the Memory Alive

Help Preserve the Tidewater Southern!

These web pages have grown far beyond what I ever expected.  While I initially was able to beg and borrow photos and information, the search for new material has now led me to libraries and other outlets that charge for their services.

I had put in place the financing to keep the pages up for 5 years, so they are in no danger of going away (I hope).  But I would like to do more and have the site be self-sufficient.  To this end, I have joined the PayPal Donate system and am now able to receive donations via secure internet connection to support the site and have opened an on-line TSRy store with CafePress.com.

However, I do not intend to stop there.  While donations will go to support the site, I realize that there is a greater need.  Therefore, all donations to this website and all proceeds from the on-line store will go to support not-for-profit programs that help preserve the Tidewater Southern.  After direct costs for the website are covered, additional monies each month will be placed into an interest bearing fund.  When a $2000 limit is reached in the account, that money will be donated, in the name of the contributors to the website and the website itself, to a Tidewater Southern preservation effort at a chosen museum or archive.

Donations will be recognized on the website (unless they request otherwise.  store purchasers will not due to privacy issues.) and account status will be posted to this section of the site.  Any questions, please contact me at webmaster@tidewatersouthern.com.
