Pop History Dig stories currently appear on the first & second Google search-results pages, given relevant queries. In recent months the site has attracted visitors from more than 6,500 cities in at least 150 countries, including teachers, college faculty, social historians, reporters, and media and business analysts who find it a credible and useful source on the history and power of contemporary culture.

The site is currently free & open to all users, but improved financial support is needed to keep it that way. As owner/author of the site, I am open to possible academic and/or institute-type affiliations or related research/teaching opportunities that might be found at colleges, universities, foundations, media & news organizations, or other venues. I am also seeking financial and technical assistance to help broaden the site’s base and improve its advertising elements. I also offer a research and contract writing service. If you have any suggestions, can offer assistance, or know of persons or organizations that can help, please contact me at the e-mail address or phone number below. Thank you.
