Open Access Archaeology Fund

Thank You! You have helped to raise £6,799.88 since the fund started!

Set up to celebrate our 20th anniversary years, Internet Archaeology and the Archaeology Data Service have combined forces to launch the Open Access Archaeology Fund. The fund has the specific aim of supporting the Internet Archaeology publishing and ADS archiving costs of researchers who have no means of institutional support, and whose data is potentially more at risk. We are asking you to support our efforts by pledging a recurring or single gift.

We are grateful for all gifts and to say thank you, everyone who donates over £25 will receive a token of our appreciation - one of our highly desirable red USB trowels. A limited number of special edition orange and purple trowels are also available for those who make larger donations (Orange for donations of £50-£74.99 and purple for £75 and above). Every gift helps. As the Fund develops we will publish here the total funds raised and list the subsequent articles/archives assisted by your generosity. Thank you for your support.
