VictorianMaysville.com
is a non-profit website designed and maintained by Todd Dorsey. A
native of Maysville, Todd's interest in documenting Maysville's history
started as a history project for the Jackson County High School History
Club in 1981. Over the years Todd has documented interviews with the
late Mary Arnold, Perino Boswell, Dorothy Strange, Joseph Lyle, Tom
Telford, and Effie Strange, to name a few. Interviews with those
still living include Lucille Sims, Julia Savage, Talmadge Savage, Betty
Brooks, James Brooks, Lois Harper, Pete Mintz, Jack Lewis, Smith Pounds,
and Clarence Smith, among others. Todd plans to eventually write a
book on Maysville's history.
The mission of this
site includes:
-
An online presence to
educate others about Maysville's rich history
-
An opportunity to
reach those family members or related parties who may have additional
information to share about Maysville
-
A means of organizing
research and information for the future publication of a book on
Maysville's history
-
An avenue to promote
current events and document past events
This mission involves
considerable time and expense. Currently, a campaign is
underway to help cover the cost of the following:
-
A new $250 laptop from
Walmart to be used to store Maysville history files and photos as well as
store the Microsoft web design software used to build this site. The
current laptop is five years old and the CD Rom drive and some keys no
longer work.
-
A handheld $200 Sony
digital camcorder from Amazon to be used to film interviews and record
tours of the town. Currently, no recording equipment is available to
conduct interviews.
-
A $60 upgrade to the
2011 version of Family Tree Maker software which is used to store the
Maysville Family Tree records. The 2005 version is currently being
used.
In addition, the
monthly hosting fee for this website is $20, which has been covered by
Todd Dorsey since inception in 2001. The Maysville Community
Improvement Club donated $250 in 2008 to cover web-hosting for that year.
There are three ways
you can help support this website:
-
General Display
Advertising: Box ads are available starting at $25 per month for the
home page and $10 per month for other pages. There is no minimum
commitment, so these ads work well for small businesses, yard sales, real
estate, political campaigns, etc.
-
Donor Plaques:
Individuals, organizations or businesses may make a one-time donation to
this website. For each $10 donated, a donor "plaque" will be created
and displayed below in the donor gallery.
-
Virtual Memorial
Garden Flowers: Individuals may purchase a "virtual flower" in
memory of a lost, loved one to be placed in our Virtual Memorial Garden.
Each "flower" costs only $5 and remains on the site indefinitely.
Donors may buy as many "flowers" as they wish, but each "flower" can only
represent one individual.
