[Genealib] Donated family files

[Grundset, Eric]

Mrs. Pfaff,

The DAR Library would be happy to have this material. We have a large
manuscript collection of this type of genealogical information and would
make it a specific collection with the compiler's name, catalog it, and
make it available to researchers.

The Allen County Public Library (Genealogy Dept) in Fort Wayne, IN
collects family histories comprehensively.

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,
