Why donate to this website?
I'm a freelancer. Donations buy time not hunting down and working on other projects—time to spend working on making this website everything it can be. This process is always ongoing—regardless of whether I receive donations or not. It's just happening a little slower than I'd like it to.
Current priorities for the site
- Priority number one is to finish tagging existing documents to ensure that the BY TOPIC section of this site is comprehensive and genuinely useful. All SCAI image-only PDFs are being reread and tagged to make them more accessible. All existing News items are already fully tagged, as will be any future coverage. That part is up-to-date and will remains so. Tagging image-only PDF documents is the mountain that is still being climbed.
- Expanding the range of the archive is also a goal. Top of the list would be adding historical Merchiston inspection reports, police statements, and archiving government steps directly affecting survivor justice.
- Continuing to track down and archive both historical and contemporary news & documents relating to abuse at Merchiston Castle School to add to the site. Please feel free to suggest articles and any relevant documents.
- Tracking upcoming civil cases against Merchiston as they start to take place. There are many cases being prepared, brought by a variety of former pupils.
- Building the forum into a large network and having it serve useful purposes such as mutual support, research, and coordinated action.
