Here is a breakdown of the hosting costs if you are wondering what this site takes to run. Currently it is hosted on DigitalOcean running a 8GB droplet.

Arweave
I also need to mention the support of the Arweave Boost program for their generous donation to archive the clipart collection. They have generously donated a total of 3.1 Arweave tokens since 2021 and we have used those tokens as of Dec 31, 2022 to archive a total of 69820 clipart items to the Arweave Permaweb. This is the count of confirmed archived items from our database. Very grateful for the support of Arweave and we look forward to continuing the process of archiving the clipart collection in 2023. You can see all of our transactions with Arweave on Viewblock.
Thanks Arweave!
