What do? Like $150?
I am a poorfag but this feels the right thing to do.
It's information that can't be found anywhere else and not valuable im money since the world doesn't really care about that small city.

It is called donations for a reason. The best you can do is recommend the book to others and tell em where to find it. Others may give them the suggested DONATION.
Honestly there's no problem here and you shouldn't feel bad.

It's just that I could easily give 20-50. But then I feel bad for maybe giving too low for a work like this.
I believe that there is no copyright or rights for the work because it is old too. Another reason why it might be free to people interested.
Well obviously they're helping you with something very personally important, so yes, donate a fair amount.
If you're poor, obviously don't donate 150, but if it's no big deal then go ahead.
this sounds like a local history team put this together, perhaps it was sponsored by the community or something?
in any case, it's a donation for a reason, so just make a gesture and that's that.

The writers are all very old or not living anymore. The main writer passed away in the 80s.
$150 sounds appropriate to me, but if you can't afford that, just donate what you can
Thnx doggos.
