What a poignant query—one others of us ponder….what to do with our research. Have you thought about donating it to one of the historical archives? Maybe one in SEMO. I like the idea of possibly having access to it, but wouldn’t see myself as being the best protector of it. Seems a shame to have it drop into someone’s personal collection, where the groundbreaking work it contains might be lost completely and forever in a few years.
