The Carvin Museum is totally funded by me, the Webmaster.  The site is not supported by Carvin (or anyone else), so domain registration fees, hosting, software, old catalogs and other literature and anything else either comes straight out of my pocket, or is generously donated.  As the site has become more popular, it's required additional bandwidth and storage space, and additional server features will have to be added in order to support Forums and other advanced features.  All and all, it's pretty expensive to operate and maintain.

You'll also notice there are no ads, banners, popups or anything else.  Although I have been approached by quite a few online advertisers about serving ads, I have no intention of doing this, despite the potential profit.

Because of the expense involved in operating and maintaining the site, donations are always appreciated, and will only be used in support of the site.   You can donate through PayPal, by clicking the banner below.  Any amount is greatly appreciated!  Contributors who are active on the Carvin Museum Forums will also have a special "Museum Supporter" title under their names.  Thanks!
