[Genealib] World War I document

I would give it to the World War I Museum.  This seems the most logical.

Subject: [Genealib] World War I document

Good morning:

The Mount Calm Library recently received a typewritten 25-page document detailing the history of Ambulance Company No. 1. The author is unknown.

The Company was originally organized at Ft. D. A. Russell, Cheyenne, WY in 1911; in 1915 was transferred to Ft. Bliss, El Paso, TX; in Nov. 1917 the company left for overseas, arriving in Saint Nazaire, France on Dec. 2.

The documents lists the day-to-day activities of the company and also includes a listing of all its personnel, including some home addresses and a list of all those killed, wounded, & gassed.  The company was made up of men from all over the U.S. - no special concentration from any one state.

What shall I do with it? It would find little usage here at Mount Calm. Should I send it to the World War I Museum in Kansas City? Or does someone have a better idea for its preservation?  I would also be glad to give it to a genealogical library.   Thanks for your advice -
