Help Us Digitize Waco’s History Before It’s Lost Forever

Help Us Preserve the Truth – Your Support Matters!

Hello one, Hello all, and Bless you!

Thanks to the incredibly generous donations from so many of you, we’ve been able to raise $1,117 toward our goal of $5,977 needed to complete the Waco Survivors project. This brings us closer to building a permanent, comprehensive archive that honors those we lost and preserves the truth of what happened in 1993 outside of Waco, TX.

I’ve been hard at work updating and expanding the materials on WacoSurvivors.com, where we’re creating a true educational and memorial site. While some content, like C-SPAN videos, can't be hosted due to licensing restrictions, we’ve added many new audio recordings, I’m also preparing to upload a never-before-seen interview I did with Jeremiah Films in 1996 as well as parts of a Jamie Castillo and Paul Fatta interview. This raw, uncut interview will be released in the next couple of days. Watching it again, I was reminded of the calm and peace I felt back then—it’s one of the best interviews I’ve ever given.

This archive isn’t just a collection of videos and audio tapes; it’s an expanding historical record. We’re working to include survivor testimonies, expert insights, and other rare materials that are critical to preserving the full story. Here’s where the funds are needed most:

Web Hosting and Storage – Currently $276 per year, though this will increase as we grow our content and archive.

VHS Digitization – Each tape costs around $25 to digitize, with well over 50 left to process.

Additional Projected Expenses – Future needs include website improvements, editing, and enhanced security to ensure a lasting, accessible archive.

This total goal of $3,677 will allow us to keep sharing these rare materials, ensure our website remains accessible and safe, and bring this history to those who seek the truth beyond the mainstream narrative.

Every dollar brings us closer to this goal. Whether you can give $5, $50, or $500, every bit of support helps us keep this history alive. To express our gratitude, we’ll randomly select one generous donor to receive a book or t-shirt signed by all the survivors who attended the 30th-year memorial. Additionally, three others will receive a free t-shirt from our store. These tokens are small, but they represent our deep appreciation for your help in preserving this legacy.

We’ve made tremendous progress, but we can’t complete this journey without you. Together, we can ensure the truth about Waco is never forgotten.
