Research Haven has been providing students with a suite of essay and term paper research and writing tools for almost a decade. Created in 1996 when I was battling through my own university days, Research Haven started out as a quick list the web sites and addresses to some of my common research sites. An online dictionary (as I am a terrible speller), thesaurus, primary and secondary sources, and a few ways to procrastinate, tied into a single web page that he could easily find from any computer lab on campus. Why scribble down in a corner of my lecture notes that great web site address to my favorite research sources, when one or two web pages accomplished the same task and more?

Over the years Research Haven has grown over the years from a single page to over one hundred. Although we have partnered with a few very supportive web sites over the years to help ensure Research Haven has a permanent home on the web, it is still very much supported by my dedication of several hundred hours a year to ensure that students, professors and educators can learn to rely on my site for all of their essay writing needs. Nothing makes me happier then to browse the web and find that university professors across the globe have used my site in their class resources and essay writing tips.

Our Style Guides (MLA, APA, APSA), writing tips and how to's, and Web Based Chat featuring java versions of Yahoo! Messenger, AOL AIM and ICQ have been of great benefit to students of all levels. I still remember the days when I was excited if a few hundred people a month visited the site, today those numbers have grown to a tens of thousands. In the grand scheme of Yahoo!, EBay and Amazon our numbers are tiny, but for Research Haven, every student that visits our site is being helped to make their experience in university or college a successful one; that alone makes us a gem on the web.

Unfortunately our small success comes at a cost; site hosting (moving from www.geocities.com/research-haven to www.researchhaven.com), URL registration fees, software upgrades, research tools, and the hundreds of man hours time it takes to create our growing suite of research tools comes at cost;we need your financial support to help continue to make our research site a great tool for students of all ages and academic levels.

Research Haven has created a sponsorship program to help acknowledge the people and organizations that continue to make our site a reality. Every sponsor will have their name, web site address, and a small blurb about their company listed on our annual sponsorship page. A link to the sponsorship is found on the bottom of every page of the site. Sponsorship can be in any form, cash, computer hardware, gift certificates; any support, large or small helps make Research Haven a reality.
