Support the Foundation

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, the Century Association Archives Foundation is independent from the Century Association, with a separate Board of Trustees and financial operations. It depends entirely on tax-deductible contributions to accomplish its mission. 

The revenue obtained is used to fund annual operating expenses, including one full-time staff member, regular exhibitions and publications, as well as a wide array of research services in response to public requests. Funding will also be applied to further processing and digitization of the collection, and other efforts to expand and enhance the online presence and accessibility of the archives.

The CAAF is grateful to receive donations of any size by check, credit/debit card, or stock transfer. Electronic payments are encouraged using the secure options below.

Gifts are tax-exempt to the extent allowed by law and support our mission to make historic materials regarding the Century Association accessible for scholarly purposes.

Help Our Collections Grow

The CAAF is committed to building upon the collection of institutional records entrusted to its care by the Century.

In addition to records, correspondence, photographs, ephemera, recordings, and/or any other materials related to the Century, the CAAF is actively soliciting:

  • Oral histories or written memories of the Century Association by members, staff, and guests to the clubhouse.
  • Copies and/or referrals to Century Association-related materials in personal papers or other archival collections at outside repositories
  • Copies and/or referrals to references to the Century Association in biographies and other publications
  • Manuscripts and ephemera related to the Century Association

Volunteer

The CAAF welcomes volunteers interested in contributing to our efforts to expand and enhance our digital resources and descriptions of collections.

The areas where we most need support from volunteers, most of which can be done remotely, include:

  • Contributing Century history-related essays or other features for this website
  • Cleaning up and cataloging oral history and event transcriptions
  • Scanning member memorials and cleaning up text transcriptions, including coding of references Century members
  • Cataloguing audio recordings
  • Survey and potential processing project with Century Association building records (some architectural background necessary)
