BobI hate to be a wet blanket here but consider carefully if you decide to "let the general public know" about your collection. I think it is a wonderful and philanthropic idea to allow your collections to be donated or viewed by historical societies, etc. but in this age of home invasions and thugs breaking in to residences to steal property to be sold to finance drug habits, please consider carefully any noteriety you might get. I have twice turned down requests to have different newspapermen write feature articles about my collection because of apprehension about noteriety. I'd rather keep it a guarded secret to all except friends, family and board members.
