Free CDs when you Help This Site
This site is not free.
But thanks to a few very generous individuals who contribute funds every month, it seems like it is. This site is kept online with the help of readers who, like me, want to see this information kept on the web for research purposes. When reader contributions come up short, the cost of the site falls solely to me to cover and with the economy being what it is and a family of 5 to take care of, the site needs all the outside support it can get.
As a way of saying thanks to those who donate to this website I've created archival CD-ROMs. If you want to join those who've already helped, you can use the handy drop-down boxes to order or if you don't wish to donate online, you can scroll to the bottom of this page for instructions on how to contribute via Snail Mail.
If you are outside of the continental United States BE SURE to select "Outside USA" in the drop-down box of the gift of your choice. If you select USA and you are outside of the continental United States, your donation will be refunded to you and no gift will be sent.
PLEASE: Don't email me asking for "free" or discounted copies of these gift CDs; supplies and shipping aren't free for me. I hate saying no to people so emails about this subject will not be answered.

Copy of Website + Bonus Material (1 CD)
A complete copy of this website as it appears now - including all hosted multimedia files and documents + nearly 700 MB of information that doesn't appear on this site. Includes several videos such as: Full copies of the shooters's videos (Rampart Range and Hitmen for Hire, Radioactive Clothing, and others), the Evidence Exhibit, and interviews with the victims. Also includes 1000s of photos, official reports, interviews, present-day updates, and much more.

Additional Media Files (2 CDs)
Nearly 1400 MB of archived video and sound files as well as more photos and reports. This 2-CD set includes backups of most of the audio and video clips that are linked to this website that are currently hosted on other websites. Includes footage at Columbine during and after the shootings, SWAT team videos, interviews with staff, the Presidental address, 911 calls, 2-part copy of the footage of the interior of Columbine right after the shootings (part of the Fire Department video), nearly 2 minutes of surveillance camera footage, and much more. Due to their large size, when these multimedia files disappear from the internet (which several have since I originally created this page), they most likely will not return for very long thanks to the stringent TOS so many sites now have. This archive lets you have access to those files, online or off.

Choose Your CD-ROM
So why donate? It costs money to keep this website online. A site like this has bandwidth, much like a car has gasoline. Every time a photo or a sound file is accessed, more bandwidth is eaten up -- more fuel is burned, so to speak. This site receives over 2,000 different visitors every day: 2,000 places driven a day, which takes quite a bit of fuel (bandwidth). In order to fill it up again the site requires money, just like gas costs money to pump into a car.
There's only so much cash this working-class, low-income individual can scrape together to pay for the bandwidth this website needs, especially with a family to support. As long as the bandwidth lasts, this site will remain up and viewable. However, if the monthly bandwidth runs out, the site will be inaccessible till the next month. That's where you come in. Reader contributions cover the extra bandwidth my budget can't afford and also cover additional services (such as the site search feature) that would otherwise be impossible to have.
Don't want a gift? If you don't want a gift or would like to donate an amount to the site other than what's listed, pop by PayPal and send a donation to acolumbinesite @ gmail . com (Spaces are added to cut down on spam; remove them to donate.). It's secure and free -- you don't even need a Paypal account.

NO postal money orders from outside the USA, please.
Concealed cash (USD) is accepted but send at your own risk.
CDs are shipped within 72 hours of cleared payment (Sundays and holidays being the exception). CDs are shipped inside plastic jewel cases wrapped securely in bubble-pack tucked inside a discreet shipping envelope. USA shipments usually take 3-7 days depending on your location; overseas can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks - depending on your country's customs and handling practices - but generally arrive sooner.
What about privacy? When you donate to this site, your information is secure. None of your financial information is ever seen by anyone affiliated with aColumbineSite.com. Your shipping information is never shared with anyone except the postal workers who need it in order to deliver your CDs to you.
