Scan declassified spy satellite imagery

Donation protected
As someone who enjoys tracking space history and movement in the space industry through satellite imagery, declassified spy satellite imagery from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s is one of the coolest things to me. So far, I have been gathering as much data as I can on my own and sharing it with the public, but with the hundreds of thousands of images available, the costs involved are massive.
 
Each scanned image costs $30 USD, plus a $5 USD handling fee. In total, there are about 45 clear images of the Cape Canaveral area alone, which would cost roughly $1,350 USD (1,880 AUD). All images would be posted to a public location, whether it be Twitter and/or Flickr  so you can view and download the full resolution imagery.
 
If the goal is exceeded, all of the excess funds will be used to purchase scanned imagery of other space related locations, such as Baikonur Cosmodrome or Vandenberg Space Force Base.
 
Some examples of imagery already scanned below:
The Soviet N1 rocket on the pad captured by a KH-9 at a 2-4 foot resolution in 1972.

Launch Complex 39A captured by a KH-4A at a 9-foot resolution in 1965.
 
A wider view of the Kennedy Space Center captured by a KH-4A at a 9-foot resolution in 1965.
 
A Concorde in New York captured by a KH-9 at a 2-4 foot resolution in 1982.
 
Thank you so much in advance for any support that you give towards this large project ahead of us, and I can't wait to share all of this imagery with you as it is processed.
