Dear friends of NCSE, A reminder that you -- yes, you! -- can help NCSE's archives.
A CHANCE TO HELP NCSE'S ARCHIVES NCSE's archives house a unique trove of material on the creationism/evolution controversy, and we regard it as part of our mission to preserve it for posterity -- as well as for occasions such as Kitzmiller v. Dover, where NCSE's archives helped to establish the creationist antecedents of the "intelligent design" movement. And we are beginning to amass a similar trove of material on disputes over climate change education. We cordially invite you now to help NCSE's archives keep up-to-date by purchasing books through our wish list at Amazon.com. And it's not just books -- gifts of needed hardware, software, and office equipment are welcome, too! All of these donations are tax-deductible. We're pleased to report that over three hundred items have been purchased already, and we thank the donors for their generosity. You can view the catalogue of books in NCSE's archives at LibraryThing.
