Why do you charge for access to the Photography Criticism CyberArchive?
Putting this much material online, amplifying it to the extent we plan, and maintaining a site on this scale involves considerable time, money, and effort. In addition, we subsidize the keying-in of much material that does not already exist in digital form. Also, we believe that providers of online content — in this case, the CyberArchive authors — deserve to derive revenues from online use of their material, to enable them to produce more of their valuable work. We have as our goal a resource that exemplifies at once user-friendliness and respect for the intellectual property rights of content creators.
