Funding and the
Future
In the years 2001-2006 grants for the non-commercial archivesˈ
historic research were provided by the foundations Kopifon
and Filmkopi, but minor donations may be needed to
follow up on specific jukebox historic matters, and to secure the archivesˈ
holdings. The expenses to cover access to online data and to keep websites
registered have unfortunately gone up considerably in the last two years.
If you like the work done so far, a donation of a few
$ via PayPal to mail address below would really be appreciated.
It will
also be necessary to look at the future of the archives after 2025, and to find
new researchers to continue the work, and as a result the archives ought to be
transferred or sold to a museum or big-time collector in Europe. The price of a
transfer or sale is of course not considered yet, but the editor is open for
discussion. Also the collection of miniature and toy jukeboxes, which by the
way is still growing, will be for sale as one lot to a museum in Europe. Please
contact the editor if you should be interested. The reference library including
the miniature collection is property of the editorˈs family.
