Funding and the
Future
During
the years 2001-2006 a few grants for the non-commercial archivesˈ historic
research were provided by two Danish foundations, 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 unpaid work, especially the data
sheets of inventors, designers, and company founders, 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. The collection of miniature and toy jukeboxes, which is
still growing, will be for sale as one lot to a museum in Europe. Please
contact the editor if you would be interested. The reference library including
the miniature collection is property of the editorˈs family.
