This project exists to preserve a body of work, a community, and a history that is at risk of being lost. Many of the individuals, stories, and materials connected to this legacy remain undocumented or dispersed across personal collections, making them increasingly vulnerable to time, deterioration, and inaccessibility.
Without immediate action, firsthand accounts may go unrecorded, and significant cultural materials may never be properly preserved or contextualized for future generations.
The Wonderment Project addresses this urgency through a multi-part initiative:
Together, these efforts aim not only to document the past but to create a lasting, publicly accessible record that supports research, education, and continued cultural engagement.
This is an opportunity to ensure that an important legacy is preserved with care, accuracy, and the depth it deserves—before it becomes irretrievable.
We are currently seeking immediate support to launch the first phase of production. Funding at this stage directly enables filming, preservation, and the infrastructure needed to build a lasting archive.
Connections can be just as impactful as funding. We welcome introductions to individuals and organizations who can help advance the project across its key areas.
The Wonderment Project is built on community participation. We are actively gathering materials and stories that help document this history with care and accuracy.
We are planning to begin filming interviews in Fall 2026, with the ability to conduct in-person conversations depending on location and available funding. Please note: at this time, we are only accepting donated materials. We are not able to facilitate loans.
All contributions will be preserved, documented, and credited appropriately as part of the archive.
We are building an advisory board of individuals who can offer insight, expertise, and strategic guidance as the project develops.
We welcome perspectives from a range of disciplines and backgrounds. Your guidance will help shape the direction and long-term impact of the project.
