If you enjoy visiting the LBS, reading vintage articles about Louise Brooks, or browsing the portrait galleries, please consider making a financial contribution. Donations of any amount are accepted. Every little bit helps.
The Louise Brooks Society is the largest and most comprehensive website in the world devoted to any silent film star. It also costs money to operate and develop. The hope is that individuals who enjoy this site will make a small donation to help keep things going. Monthly internet fees, occasional bandwith penalties, subscriptions, and the costs associated with running RadioLulu are just some of the many expenses that go into keeping the LBS on the web. A donation, in any amount, will also help defray the cost of photocopies, postage, research expenses, and the acquisition of vintage memorabilia (which is then posted on the site). Contributions will be used to ensure new material is added on an ongoing basis, and that the LBS continues as the most comprehensive site of its kind. The Louise Brooks Society is a not-for-profit web site. It is also a money losing labor of love. Please consider making a contribution.
