Archive travel and photographs are among the remaining costs of completing the planned naval-history primers. The Historiophon fundraiser is intended to cover research visits and obtain the images needed to finish the books. For two proposed trips, visiting the collections in person would cost substantially less than asking them to supply photographs remotely. Travel can therefore be the cheaper way to obtain a book's illustrations.
