Fundraising

The Folklore Library & Archive is a volunteer-run non-profit which aims to provide a globally significant resource for the future. It receives no funding from any authority and so relies on the generosity of those who are interested in its work to survive and flourish.

You can make a one-off donation to the Library and Archive using the donate button above which will link you to the Folklore Podcast donation system, through which we are funded.

You can sign up to make a monthly donation to us, for any amount you choose. Please email us HERE to discuss the donation you would like to make. Your donation will be allocated towards the current fundraising aim each month.

We have a number of sponsorship opportunities which will enable you to support a whole archive or other project. These allow your name or company details to be attached to a project which goes that bit further to further our aims. Please email us HERE if you think you would like to be a part of this discussion.

The Dyk Brooker collection is an extensive archive of photographs of British traditional customs and events, which are all stored on 35mm slide negatives. We want to provide access to this collection for researchers via the website and are currently fundraising for the digitisation and cataloguing of the collection. Your donation will contribute towards the completion of this project.

Or consider visiting the L&A store for some folkloric gift ideas!

Once our initial fundraising goal is reached, there are many further projects we will be embarking on in an effort to preserve and share the resources that we collect.

Future fundraising goals will include:

- Cloud storage for digital archive material
- Continued support for administrative costs (software, website hosting, archive materials, etc)
- Acquisition of books, documents and other collections
