Hi John.
Currently I am working on a publication (book) to celebrate the 20 years of IUOMA. In it will be texts connected to what happened with IUOMA (history) but also about how the electronic world has influenced the mail-art network. Since you write such good texts I wonder if you would consider writing one for this specific issue. Also things connected to IUOMA that have been made over the years will be included in the book.
What do you think? Would you consider a specific subject or topic?
Want to support the IUOMA with a financial gift via PayPal?
The money will be used to keep the IUOMA-platform alive. Current donations keep platform online till 1-MAY-2026. If you want to donate to get IUOMA-publications into archives and museums please mention this with your donation. It will then be used to send some hardcopy books into museums and archives. You can order books yourself too at the IUOMA-Bookshop. That will sponsor the IUOMA as well.
IMPORTANT: please use the friends/family option with donation on Paypal. That makes transaction fee the lowest.
This IUOMA platform on NING has no advertisings, so the funding is completely depending on donationsby members. Access remains free for everybody off course
