The Electronic Literature Lab

Donate

The Electronic Literature Lab is a research facility at a Research 1 public university, a 501 (c) 3 institution. While it receives some support from Washington State University Vancouver, the lab thrives on funds, materials, and labor provided by patrons who value the cultural history forged by artists and scholars of born-digital literature, art, and games. Join us in making born-digital works accessible for present and future generations of readers. Interested in supporting the Electronic Literature Lab's work? Contact Dene Grigar.

Monetary Donations

You are encouraged to support ELL by providing funds for the continued development and maintenance of the many projects we do. All members of the lab's team, and especially our student interns, are paid for their contributions. Additionally, we pay for access to Vimeo for our Traversals and other videos and BlueHost for holding our archives. All donations are tax-deductible through the university's Foundation.

Material Donations

You are invited to donate hardware and software so that we can maintain the resources needed to access and thus preserve born-digital media. We collect computing devices running a wide variety of operating systems, hardware affordances, and their peripherals, as well as many different versions of software as possible. We also collect game platforms and games.

Temporal Donations

You can also help by lending your expertise in born-digital media with researching works and augmenting metadata with verified information; helping with the development of videos, animations, visualizations, and images; and grant-writing.
