While there is no additional responsibility on your part, your name will be permanently labeled on an existing box in the archive. As a thank you, you will also receive a portrait of your box (like the image above) and letter of certification that indicates the collection and box number location in the archives. You are welcome to visit your box at the McGovern Historical Center to just say, \u201cHi!\u201d or take a selfie with it for your Instagram page. While archival boxes are typically very introverted and keep to themselves, they enjoy visiting with loved ones (that\u2019s you!). <a href=\"https:\/\/library.tmc.edu\/mcgovern\/reading-room-appointment-form\/\">Make an appointment<\/a> at our El Rio location, and we\u2019ll have your box ready when you arrive.<\/p>\n<p>All levels of donation are welcome and support our work. Every donation goes a long way at the McGovern Historical Center. Here are a few examples of how we utilize financial support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>$10 buys an archival box to preserve papers<\/li>\n<li>$50 preserves one box of collection materials<\/li>\n<li>$250 buys permanent archival labels for boxes<\/li>\n<li>$500 purchases film preservation supplies<\/li>\n<li>$1,500 supports a year of online access to our collections <a href=\"https:\/\/archives.library.tmc.edu\/\">archives.library.tmc.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<li>$5,000 helps us fund a 12-week internship for an archives student<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Financial gifts made during October include three levels of special recognition:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Donors of $5 or more will receive special thanks<\/li>\n<li>Donors of $50 or more will have their name permanently inscribed on an archival box label<\/li>\n<li>Donors of $250 or more will be invited to a reception in the McGovern Rare Book Collection early in 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Help the campaign follow and tag #Give2History on Instagram, Xtwitter, and Facebook.
