Radio Heritage say 'thanks' at the holiday season


Dear Radio Heritage friends and supporters

The holiday season is fast approaching..time to say 'thanks' for your support during 2007, whether you used one of our online radio guides, visited an online Art of Radio exhibition, read an article about a radio station or person of interest, sent us questions, gave us answers...we're glad we could be of service....

If you're looking for your favorite radio books and more......our Christmas 2007 Gift Catalog is now online at www.radioheritage.net. Unique specials this year include Radio Hauraki 40th Birthday Party Souvenir Tickets and Art of Radio Japan postcard packs.

World Radio TV Handbook 2008, Passport to WorldBand Radio, Don't Touch That Dial and other great gifts in the new easy to use catalogs....choose from the USA & Rest of World, UK, European, Australian and New Zealand versions.

The entire catalog is a fund raiser towards our operational costs, as protecting and promoting radio heritage takes time, materials and money, and there's so much more we will achieve with your help.

If you buy through Amazon, use our online bookshop to buy your Amazon gifts this year and every purchase contributes a few pennies towards our work as well!

Want to make a regular monthly donation of $5 or more? Use the donation option at our Paypal links at www.radioheritage.net and your regular support will be very welcomed to help our budgeting.

If you can donate just $5 a month for the coming year, we'll be able to increase our conservation and online publishing efforts tremendously....and have even more great stories and more in 2008.

Our resources are increasingly used for educational and genealogy research, for social history projects, for people wanting to know about radio events from their lives, those looking for old recordings, and by up to 1000 people daily searching for some information about radio in the Pacific region.

In the meantime, more old recordings are lost, radio heritage documents destroyed, memories forgotten and connections gone......but your donations and your support of the Christmas 2007 Gift Catalog will help us continue to rescue and conserve what we can.

Thanks for your interest and support during 2007, and we hope you'll enjoy our continued preservation efforts at www.radioheritage.net in 2008. With your help, there'll be much more to enjoy.

Yours in radio......
