Illustration: St Nicholas Magazine, Dec 1910

Sorry for the late posting on this... we had server problems that couldn't be corrected until after the holiday.


I would like to take this opportunity to wish you Happy Holidays on behalf of all of us at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive and the Board and membership of ASIFA-Hollywood. I'd also like to thank our latest Archive Hero, Caroline Melinger, and Archive Supporter Carlos Trijueque Albarran. Thanks to their generous Christmas gifts to the Archive, we are well on our way to purchasing the collection of St Nicholas Magazines for our library. To celebrate, here are more wonderful illustrations from nearly a century ago.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
This issue of St Nicholas Magazine from December 1910 was sent to us as a sample from a larger collection. We have the opportunity to purchase a largely complete half century run of this influential magazine for our library covering the dates 1874-1930. The collection consists of 75 bound volumes, and is being offered to us at a very reasonable price. However, funding for this project is limited, and every penny goes to maintaining the facility in Burbank, hosting the website and the material and labor costs involved in operating the archive. We operate a very tight ship, but there is no slack in our operating budget. We don't have an acquisitions fund to cover costs like this.

If you think that it's important to have material like this in our collection, and you haven't donated before, please remember the Archive with a Christmas gift this year. Many thanks to those who have pitched in to help so far... Nicolas Martinez, Hardeep Kharbanda, John Stater, Amir Avni, Carlos Trijueque Albarran, and Caroline Melinger.
