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 further minor donations may be
needed to follow up on specific jukebox related historic matters, and to secure
the archivesˈ holdings. If you like the work done so far, please make a
donation of a few $ via PayPal to mail address below. The expenses to cover access to online data and to keep websites registered
have unfortunately gone up considerably in the last two years.
Unfortunately,
it is necessary to look at the future of the archives after 2024, and to find
new researchers to continue the work due to health problems of the editor, 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.
