SPMC WEB UPGRADE DONATIONS SOUGHTThe Society of Paper Money Collectors is seeking financial help from the numismatic community to enable an upgrade of their internet footprint. -Editor
Help Secure the Future of SPMC's Online Presence!
To keep serving you and future generations of collectors, the time has come for SPMC to invest in a substantial upgrade of its website to ensure its functionality, security, and usability for years to come. 
Slated to begin in early 2025, this critical upgrade will cost $27,500, covering redevelopment and the transfer of existing data. Without it, the website's performance and security will deteriorate, jeopardizing the educational tools and connections that make SPMC an invaluable resource to the collecting community. We need your support to reach our goal by mid-2025. Your contribution—big or small—will make a lasting impact on the future of paper money collecting. Please donate today and help us preserve this vital resource for our community! SPMC Governor Loren Gatch writes: "The SPMC website was upgraded from the original site to its present format about 12 years ago. It was coded in an early version of Drupal, the well-known content management system. "A couple years later we did an upgrade to Drupal 7. In late 2015, Drupal 8 was released, which was a major upgrade in the history of Drupal. Updating to Drupal 8 would've been tedious and costly, so many users of Drupal, including SPMC, delayed upgrading their websites, relying upon Drupal's security patches for version 7. The end of life for support for Drupal 7, however, is set for early 2025. As a result, we can no longer put off updating our platform to the newest version, which is now Drupal 11. "The SPMC has been soliciting bids from web developers to do this. The goal of our fundraising outreach is to ensure that we can include all of the current website's features in the upgrade." Loren is also the editor of SPMC's News & Notes email, a source for some of the paper money articles published here in The E-Sylum. Please consider lending a hand. -Editor
