I donate through payroll deduction. Guys and gals, do not overlook this
possibility. Check with your employers. It's about $19.23/paycheck for
me which comes out to $500 a year. Just twenty bucks a check! The museum
is well worth supporting.

I was not clear in my original post. For the past year the museum board has
been evaluating the best way to make their invaluable collection of
microfiche available to Tek collectors. This microfiche collection has the
potential to become the most comprehensive and valuable archive we have to
support our interests.
It was the board's conclusion, having already investigated or tried
everything (and more) that our members have suggested, that the only
possible way to make the microfiche available was through a YouCaring
Fundraiser.
They are asking for your financial help reaching their goal of $6,000. It
isn't hard to understand how unlocking the information contained in the
museum's microfiche is in our own self-interest.
I just made a $50 donation towards the microfiche scanner. I hope you will
consider making a donation as well. The process is simple, you can pay by
credit card, and your donation is tax deductible. The donation link is:
Finally, the museum could do much more if they had additional volunteers
who
are able to work at the museum. They have a long list of projects and an
acute shortage of volunteer manpower. If there is any way you can volunteer
please contact the museum at contactus@...

The vintageTEK museum has an extensive microfiche collection and has
launched a YouCaring fundraiser to help purchase a microfiche scanner to be
able to digitize portions of the collection. Tektronix for decades released
documentation to the field on microfiche. While some of this information
has
been made public, we know specific documentation was only released on
microfiche.
Today the museum can view the information but is unable to digitize it to
be
able to support restorations, research, and customer inquiries. Please
contribute to the museum fundraiser campaign. Any amount is appreciated.
The museum operates solely by the support of volunteers, contributions, and
modest ebay sales. The museum does not charge for tours or special events
so
your contributions are essential. vintageTEK is a 501(c)(3) charity so all
donations are 100% tax deductible under section 170 of the IRS code.
