Research Haven has been providing students with a suite of essay and term paper research and writing tools to help make their university and college days a great success. Created in 1996 when I was battling through his own university days, Research Haven was created as a quick tool to list the web site addresses to some of his common research sites, an online dictionary and thesaurus and a few ways to procrastinate that he could easily find from any computer lab on campus. Why jot down notes to my favorite research sources that I used to write the majority of my essays, when one or two web pages accomplished the same task and more?

Over the years Research Haven has grown along with the web and Mark's interests both cosmetically and in content. We have partnered with a couple if very supportive web sites to help make Research Haven a permanent home on the web that students, professors and educators can learn to rely on for their essay writing needs. Nothing makes me happier then to browse the web and find that university professors across both Canada and the United States have used our site in their class resources and essay writing tips. Our Style Guides (MLA, APA, APSA), 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 our site, today those numbers have grown to a few thousand. 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 time to provide a growing suite of tools; and 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 is creating a sponsorship program to help acknowledge the people and organizations that continue to help make our site a reality. Any sponsor will have their names listed on our sponsorship page that is found on the bottom tool on every page on the site. If provided, a reciprocating link is always provided pointing back to your site. Sponsorship can be in any form, cash, computer hardware, gift certificates; any support large or small helps make Research Haven a reality.
