Is there a place, an established location, where old timer railfans like myself, can mail or donate their collections? I recently passed some historic material onto an established website so everyone will have access to it. Now I am wondering about a climate controlled location where my negatives and slides will go when my ashes are spread. Remember, each click of the shutter was a never to be repeated capture of time. Kind of critical stuff for historians and researchers, even if it was run-of-the-mill stuff in the 50's and 60's.
Other than slides and negatives, I would include press releases, internal documents, advertising, fliers, and possibly even hardware.
If RMLI or OBRM haven't made plans for a permanent archive,perhaps that should be put into a grant application? I want to see this stuff saved forever.
