The 2024 Historiophon is intended to test whether a long history stream can raise enough money to interest small naval and maritime museums in future partnerships. The proposed arrangement would split incoming funds equally between a museum and the organiser. The organiser's share could cover the material delivered, research trips, or pictures for books. Museums would first need evidence that the event could generate worthwhile income. If the model worked, it could become a regular Christmas fundraiser, with the hope that other historians and YouTube educators would adopt it too.
