Each May, CoSA raises awareness about the importance of protecting records of historical importance against all types of disasters that place our heritage in jeopardy. Our efforts include raising funds to provide much-needed supplies to government archives recovering from natural or manmade disasters.
In recent years, we have been able to purchase supplies for the Archives of Puerto Rico and the Friends of the Kentucky State Archives after devastating hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods ravaged facilities and damaged collections. As we face the accelerating frequency of severe natural disasters, our Disaster Recovery Fund is in critical need of replenishment.
Help Us Leverage Individual Support
When disaster strikes, lifelines to recovery and support are crucial. And, disasters that threaten our cultural heritage are becoming all to frequent.
We invite you to join our efforts by becoming a “Lifeline” sponsor with a contribution of $500, $1,000 or $1,500. Or perhaps you’d consider sponsoring a challenge match for $2,000 or more. No matter your level of support, your “Lifeline” sponsorship will help to boost contributions to our Disaster Recovery Fund.
Recognizing Your “Lifeline” Support
