To ensure future maintenance and expansion of the collection, use of the archive comes in several different "membership" formats. One level is based on an annual membership fee of $120. This level of membership provides unlimited yearly access and includes a diskette of archive listings in addition to consultation to create slide package themes appropriate for lectures and presentations. We also have created packaged "lecture" sets that pertain to specific subject matter that may be directly incorporated into your classroom/ discussion experience. A second level has been devised for more casual users of the collection. In this, there is a one-time charge of $20 for the computer diskette of archive listings, and this would be combined with a charge of $20 per set rental up to 5 rentals throughout the course of the year. At that point, there would be no additional rental charges, because you then would have reached the annual membership rate. A copy of the Table of Contents and a sample page of archive listings are enclosed.
