Fundraiser to buy and archive 3 year collection of Apple Sales & Marketing CDs
Published: Monday, 21st January 2019
Hello folks! OK, here’s a curveball for you; I’m running a fundraiser! 😀
This is to fund the purchase of a large collection of Apple Sales & Marketing Resource Library CDs from a seller in America. They have them listed at $399.99 plus $90 for international shipping and that’s *way* above my budget! I did approach them to ask if they’d consider donating the CDs for archival purposes but they’re strictly looking to sell only, which is absolutely 100% fair enough.
So, I figured that I’d try an experiment and reach out to the community. If you help me crowdfund this purchase, I will image and scan each package and create an item on Internet Archive for it. The auction states there are 38 CDs across 21 packages spanning July 1998 to October 2000, and we know from experience that each of these packages is an absolute treasure trove of unique and rare Macintosh history, so this has the real potential to flood a mountain of Really Cool Stuff into the Macintosh retrocomputing community. 🙂
I have set up a GoFundMe specifically to try and pull together the funds for this, with a target of £382 (I had to convert $490 to £ (via Google) as GoFundMe wouldn’t allow me to run the fundraiser in dollars as I’m in the UK). I would deeply appreciate your help in securing this purchase and enriching all of our hobby. Please share! 🙂
