Members of the Trust each pay a different rate, and neither wealth nor social standing decides the price - rich men have paid pennies, while poorer men have mortgaged their homes to stay on the rolls. Whatever the case, membership fees and the revenues gained from sale of artifacts to museums and of the ''Journals'' to libraries couldn't possibly add up to provide the resources the Trust has to dole out to its employees. If anyone knows what the trust source of the Lazarus Trust's vast funding is, they haven't said. | Members of the Trust each pay a different rate, and neither wealth nor social standing decides the price - rich men have paid pennies, while poorer men have mortgaged their homes to stay on the rolls.

− | The Lazarus Trust's archives' earliest membership records date from 1831, but the records make no distinction between new and existing members - the Trust may have been founded in that year or it may be older. Similarly, no member or employee can say when the Trust was organized or who, in fact, did the organizing. | + | The Lazarus Trust's archives' earliest membership records date from 1831, but the records make no distinction between new and existing members - the Trust may have been founded in that year or it may be older.
