Sometimes it might take a while though, as I am currently on Social Supplementary Income (SSI), which gives me $700 a month.<br />
<br />
So mail them in!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03337505989207035335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921880614061352029.post-65286387389721168372012-03-22T20:41:00.000-07:002012-03-22T20:41:06.350-07:00A little backgroundI recently created a blog about the first of three collections of hard copies that I'd like to acquire through donation, then turn into a museum.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Movies: VHS tapes, Region One DVDs, and Region One Blu-ray Discs</li>
<li>Books</li>
<li>Music: LPs, cassettes, and CDs</li>
</ul>
<div>
I know what you're probably thinking: "But hard copies of all of those are folding! Why buy them in bulk now?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, because before the videocassette, the vinyl record, and the printing press, these media were nowhere near as readily available as they are today. I want to make sure that future generations understand and appreciate that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm still deciding on a title for the eventual collections, but these tangible copies will be made into their own museums. I hope to achieve my massive collection through donation by mail. For movies and music, my goal is to collect one copy of each work per format.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are the criteria for donation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MOVIES:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>If released up to 1979, they must have been voted at least once a month since January 1, 1998 on IMDb (that's when the voting process began);</li>
<li>if released since 1980, they must have been voted at least once every ten days; or</li>
<li>they must be cited at least twice in lists of best or good films.</li>
</ul>
<div>
BOOKS/MUSIC:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I'm looking for the famous, the influential, the relevant (at the time, anyway), and the superior.</li>
</ul>
