Hi all!
This past summer, I found a box of 4000-5000 articles related to the JFK assassination at a yard sale. Someone had literally started cutting articles on November 23rd, and kept it up until 1976. There are articles from dozens of newspapers & magazines here, all in pristine shape (other than the first year or so, every article was cut, and laid on the others, so they are flat, and perfect...a bit of yellowing on newspaper articles, but perfect condition on all magazine articles).
I figure it was probably an elderly person who passed away, and the box ended up in an attic somewhere collecting dust until I saw it...
I was looking at perhaps doing mucho research on the assassination. Unfortunately, I'm realizing I'm never going to have the time to do it. (I'd love to, but there's YEARS of information here...everything from small articles, to multi-page articles, and the entire NY Times with the full Warren Commission report is also included). I have literally already put 50 hours + and I'm barely out of 1963...
So, I'm wondering where I could donate these to that they would come in useful. I'm looking for a museum, or research center especially (i.e. if you're at home and are curious, that's probably not enough reason for me to hand you the box!!!). I've pondered selling them (hey, I'm poor!), but I would be okay with donating them to a center that could use the information. I just don't want them to end up back in an attic...(I owe that to whoever obsessively cut all these out!) And I'm looking for an OPEN MINDED center, not something like John MacAdams site where he's already made his mind up that Oswald did it...
If any of you cool DU'ers have any ideas, I'd love to hear it!!!
Thanks a lot!
