Supporting YOU...
Obviously, having spent the past several years collecting and researching the civil defense world as we have, there has been ONE main reason that has kept us going...without funding, without guidance, without any visible means of support other than simple feedback and attaboys. What has kept us going? YOU. The fact that you are here now, viewing this information, after spending unknown amounts of time simply trying to find out if it existed online, tells us that WE did good. We created something that didn't exist before, we learned how to harness the power of the web and research the ways to make data available, and we GOT IT ONLINE. We are extremely serious in our goal of continuing this sharing, and we will continue to find ways to collect more, share more, and offer more...of everything. Why? Because we want to ... and because we can. Our first CD is a labor of PURE love, and is only the beginning of what we have to offer. While in many ways the sheer effort in finally getting it PRODUCED made us wince and moan at times, we know that it may need a bit of polish or nipping and tucking here and there...BUT it is a very viable product, offering INCREDIBLY hard to find survival and preparedness information...like no other product before it.
Technical Support
This project entails using the latest state of the art technology using web page design and online and offline digital file reproduction, and attempts to push the envelope when it comes to getting something from hardcopy to digitized data, so that the anyone with a computer may learn from historical documents long forgotten. In recreating this data, using the best tools at hand, and the most affordable hardware and software, we believe we can offer to anyone with a computer or access to one, the best representation of civil defense content that exists. And, since in most cases WE are the ones creating it, we think we will be able to answer most questions that may arise when it comes to technical problems in viewing or accessing the documents. We offer FREE email support to anyone who purchases our CD ROMS, and will do so indefinitely.
Online Interaction
We have for years been a free online resource of much of the material we offer, and we are continuously adding new material, research tools, database access, and more to our realm of information. We offer many ways to share this info, through dynamic websites, bbs message systems, email lists, and more. Anyone who joins these resources (freely, of course) can ask questions, seek specific answers, and learn more everyday, by taking part in the community WE have created with users from around the world. Come, see what we have to offer, and tell us what we can do to help you.
Supporting Us...
This project has taken years to get this far, and was financed out of all the spare change in the sofa, under the car seat, flea market trades, and more...and a small hand full of supporters on the web who have seen this project grow from a single page on a personal web site to its very own unique entity. Thousands of hours of time, sleepless nights spent reading, writing, and programming, more time spent researching and finding all the links and original sources for everything else. In other words, it has become a labor of love.
It also, at this point has become a truly useful, completely authentic, and very viable product for troubled times. I ask you now, if you truly think the info you now have in your possession by having this cd, can and will be life saving in times of need, then PLEASE support us with cash donations or purchases of our current cd files and future upcoming releases.

Donate Documents...
If you have any rare, good condition, and readable civil defense documents from any agency, any nation, or any era, and you DON'T see the document here, chances are I may not have a copy of it in my possession. With a project of global reach and possibility of the safety of millions at hand, won't you please consider sharing it our growing project. Your original will be kept safe and returned to you in the condition it was received.
Donate Materials...
The project needs normal supplies like every other going concern, and we can always use hardware, software, blank cdroms, labels, envelopes, and so forth. If you can help in ANY way here, please forward to the above address.
Volunteer...
Do you have documents, and the means to digitize them? Please do so and forward to us, and we will add your name to all future additions as a PARTNER in this project.
