Chuck,
I?ve found the Living Computers Museum in Seattle is interested in building their
collection of paper copies of journals, and will pay for shipping. The form to offer items
for donation is here:
https://livingcomputers.org/Discover/Contribute-Historical-Artifacts.aspx . The more
carefully you list the specific issues you have, the more likely they are to accept your
offer (assuming they don?t already have the same issues). I?ve donated ACM publications
and also various early PC magazines to them, plus a bunch of old MSDN CD-ROMs.

I wish I would have known. I joined IEEE Annals at the beginning. I
eventually dropped my subscription because I found that the inaccuracies
would just make me mad.
I threw out a bunch of ACM SIGPLAN notices (the local library didn't
want them) from the 1978s. Still need to get rid of a pile of old CACM
rags as well as IEEE Computer. I'm staring at a pile of IEEE Micro and
a bunch of PC-related magazines from the 80s-90s (e.g. "DOS Developer's
Journal", which became "Windows/DOS Developer's Journal", which
became
"Windows Developer's Journal", which was then thankfully put out of its
misery by merging into Doctor Dobbs').
I still have a bunch of "PC Tech Journal" and other various periodicals.
If anyone's looking for something special, let me know. They'll all be
gone to the recycler by the end of January.
