  • Purchase an item (book, DVD, video tape, or CD) for the Louise Brooks Society from the LBS Wish List at Amazon.com. These are items of interest to the LBS - and some, such as the compact discs, will be used in adding selections to RadioLulu. Purchase any one item and become a contributing member!
  • Pay for a year of the LBS LiveJournal account. LiveJournal is the excellent online service which hosts the LBS blog. Pay for a subscription and become a contributing member. The LBS user name is louisebrooks.
  • Pay for a month or year's subscription to NewspaperARCHIVE.com. This website is an online research site. Pay for a subscription and become a contributing member.
  • Make a grand gesture. Sponsor in part, or in whole, a research trip to one of the following destinations: New York City; Topeka, Kansas; Trenton, New Jersey; Albany and Rochester, New York. The LBS would also be interested in visiting Austin, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Madison, Wisconsin; or Chicago, Illinois. Each of these cities has a library or archive housing material of interest to the LBS in its quixotic quest to document and archive "all things Brooksie." Sponsorship would entail in-part or in whole a flight from San Francisco, California as well as a rental car and cheap hotel accommodation for three nights. Help underwrite a research trip and become a contributing member.

* The Louise Brooks Society takes its name from the writer & Citizen Kane scenarist Herman Mankiewicz. According to Brooks, "In 1925, Herman was trying to educate me, and he invented the Louise Brooks Literary Society." In the spirit of Mankiewicz's efforts, the LBS aims to educate and entertain.
