Nemfrog Matters

Breaking: Donate now, receive valuable gifts

Nemfrog creates new content. Every day I go through digital piles of overlooked books, extinct magazines and unremembered 19th and early 20th century science journals, page after page, cover to cover, in search of images that are too good to leave forgotten and unseen any longer. The great majority of what you see on this blog been discovered and rescued by Nemfrog.

Not just a blog. An archive. Posts on Nemfrog contain links back their source. This lets users dive deeper in the original material, sometimes to understand the context, sometimes to search for other images, sometimes to back up scholarly work. All this sourcing I do takes effort and time. It’s work.

Help Nemfrog thrive. For the first time, after 22,223 posts and almost four years, I’m asking for some financial support. Artists message me often to say how much they value the posts on Nemfrog. Designers, teachers and students benefit from Nemfrog’s original research. It’s gratifying that all this happens. More visitors and followers simply come here to gambol in the never-ending image fountain. 

But now I have something to ask of you. Can you send $5 or $10 to show me that Nemfrog matters? Thanks in advance to everyone who can give something. I also feel the support by of everyone who follows, gives notes and reblogs. I appreciate that too.

In case you wonder, this is a fundraising drive, like something on NPR. It ends on Monday, Sept. 4. It’s not a permanent thing.
