Subject: [Genealib] Donated family files

Recently our local historical society received three boxes full of
genealogical research.  The owner had passed away and no one in her
family
was interested in the material.  The historical society is not equipped
to
handle the donation (they're more interested in local history than
genealogy
and the families in this research are not local) and our library also is
not
equipped to handle this. 

Her work amounts to approximately 12 to 15 extra-large binders with
family
group sheets.  I cannot bring myself to discard this woman's extensive
research; however, I don't know where to turn.  Any ideas?

Thank you,
