I'd suggest someone from a museum on that side of the pond - if approach
by an official non-profit entity doesn't get the point across that it's
the preservation of the archive that's important, then I doubt any
private collectors will.
It sounds like she doesn't want the trouble of dealing with it all, but
doesn't want anyone potentially making a profit out of it (fair enough).
Not that anyone would be making a profit, but it sounds like she has it
in her head that someone might. Approach by a museum might persuade her,
and be able to take over farming out of the preservation to appropriate
people... (and disposing of assets on her behalf where appropriate)
