As the end of the financial year draws ever closer, please consider giving a tax deductible donation to the Dictionary of Sydney.
More than ever, for the Dictionary to flourish, we rely upon the goodwill and generosity of our supporters.
From July we will enter into a new partnership with the State Library of NSW to host our website. The project to transfer our website is being funded by a one-off grant from the City of Sydney and does not include operational funding from the SLNSW. The City of Sydney, which has been the Dictionary's major sponsor since 2006, will no longer fund the Dictionary on an ongoing basis.
You can read more about the move on our blog here or in the newsletter here.
While we are continuing to work with our existing supporters as well as seeking new partnerships, we hope our many supporters can help us raise funds to ensure that the Dictionary continues to improve its content and functionality.
Each year the Dictionary of Sydney has an annual fundraising drive. This year we ask you to consider what impact the Dictionary has had on you, why you use it and what you love about it.
The Dictionary is a unique digital story-telling platform about Sydney with over 400 contributors, 940 entries, 12,735 entities and 4,217 multimedia items freely accessible online. There are many people who would appreciate and use the Dictionary but don't know it exists. In order to bring our content to a wider audience, we need to keep growing the Dictionary.
All donations to the Dictionary tax-deductible.
