You've done it.

Two weeks ago, we announced that AskHistorians has been invited to present a panel at the American Historical Association conference in Atlanta, Georgia in January.

Unfortunately, plane tickets and hotel rooms aren't free. We put together a budget and estimated that it will cost $7,500 or so to send all our panelists to Atlanta.

Fortunately, you all have been incredibly generous. /u/kn0thing and the Reddit staff donated half the needed total. In the two weeks since we made the announcement, you all showed your good faith and came up with the other half. Through the crowdfunding site TILT, we've been able to raise enough money to attend and spread the word about AskHistorians. With any luck, we'll be able to share the importance of public history and interacting with folks like you. (Even if it means collecting the world's largest database of "what Hitler thought about X.")

We've all be struck by your kindness and graciousness both in this fundraising campaign and in the everyday operation of this subreddit. We understand that AskHistorians operates differently from the rest of Reddit, and you all have shown that it works.

Though we've formally met our stated goal, TILT has informed us that about $50 in donations could not be processed by card, so we're still technically a little short. If you're able to help us make up the gap, we'd appreciate it.

If you've been thinking about pledging but haven't signed up yet, we'd appreciate it if you clicked the link to show your support. Even if you can only contribute a dollar, it'll be a help. Thank you.
