The Queen Anne's Revenge (QAR) Project is an enormous undertaking involving many individuals, organizations, agencies and companies, both public and private. From 2000 to 2008 financial gifts have been managed by the North Carolina History Council. The QAR Project staff wishes to acknowledge the generous contributions of time, personnel, equipment and expertise in all of the following categories:

• Field Operations Support
  

  The following institutions, companies, and individuals have made significant contributions to the QAR Project by donating time and equipment needed to conduct extended field operations since the discovery of the shipwreck in 1996.

• Analytical Research

  Scientists and technicians from a variety of institutions have contributed valuable analytical research to better understand the nature and origin of many artifacts recovered from QAR. The wreck site environment has also been extensively studied.

• Laboratory Equipment

  The conservation of artifacts recovered from QAR incorporates a wide variety of tools, equipment, chemicals, and supplies. Operating budgets are never entirely adequate, and donations, however small, are greatly appreciated.

• Financial Support

  Large operating budgets are needed not only to sustain field operations, but also to properly conserve the thousands of artifacts recovered from QAR. Monetary donations are particularly important when emergency needs arise because equipment and repairs can be paid for quickly without going through State procurement procedures.

• Education & Promotion

  Providing programs in education is a important aspect of the QAR project. These take many forms: professional and popular publications, television documentaries, news stories, lectures and presentations and educational booths in public venues. Significant contributions have allowed the staff to conduct the highly successful QAR DiveLive Internet program that has reached thousands of students throughout the state and nation.
