Donating my material to the archive

We are currently able to digitize materials related to Soakie’s!

Unfortunately, we are not readily available to digitize additional archival materials at this time, but hope to soon! This project has traditionally been pursued in volumes, and it is the current mission of {B/qKC} to permanently memorialize Soakie’s in various shapes and forms before continuing on.

For information on our digitization policy, please contact us.
