A good chunk of my collection of documentation will be going to a
"Historical Resource Center" (aka Library) that is being built in the area.
What kind of library is this? Does they specialize in old computers? My
experience with libararies is that they throw out ALL old computer stuff
(anything but MS Windows XP). One of my major sources is the outlet store
for the local county library system. You can't believe the stuff that gets
donated to them and that they turn right around and either throw out or put
in the outlet store. MY advice is to visit their library and see what they
have. If they don't have the kind of stuff that you're donating then it's
probably for a reason!

There is also a good chance that at least some of the
hardware will
eventually go there as well. I'm currently planning on starting to clear
out some of the documentation starting tomorrow, as I desperatly need the
storage space. As they don't have a building yet, it will be moving from my
storage, to thier storage.
Does anyone have any advice as to what kind of stuff should and shouldn't be
in a "Computer History" section?
