Support Independent Research
Independent historical research takes time, access to archives, and sustained attention. Here is how readers and organizations can help.
Chavis Media is an independent publishing operation. There are no institutional backers, no grants, and no editorial board. The research and writing are produced by one person, working from primary sources.
Reader support and organizational partnerships help sustain that work and make it possible to pursue more ambitious projects.
There are several ways to help.
Become a Supporting Reader
The most direct way to support Chavis Media is to subscribe to its publications. Huntington Avenue Grounds and Baseball and Us are both available on Substack, where paid subscriptions help fund the research behind each piece.

Some historical investigations require extensive archival work across multiple institutions and collections. That kind of research takes time that is difficult to sustain without support.
Chavis Media Originals provides a home for investigations, essays, and special projects that extend beyond the established publications. Support for this work helps make more ambitious research possible.

Help Us Reach More Readers
Financial support is not the only way to help.
