The Stathes Archives graciously accept donations in the form of archival materials (film elements, ephemera, etc.) as well as financial support. This is a private operation that functions mostly as a labor of love, with very slim profit margins. Any assistance received is greatly appreciated.
Note: Paypal, Venmo, et al. take processing fees and are best for quick and fairly small donations. If you would like to make a larger gift, please get in touch through the Contact page.
