Wanted: A Permanent Home for 50,000 QSL cards and Letters!

The time has come! The QSL collection housed in the Indianapolis Heritage Collection
in Indiana needs a new home, a permanent home. Estimated at 50,000 and possibly higher,
this collection of QSL letters and cards from all over the world covers a little over one hundred
years of radio history, beginning in the year 1922. This massive assemblage is made up of
QSLs, mainly from mediumwave and shortwave stations, though there are some from amateur,
television, communication and FM stations. As a major historic collection, it is offered free to
any location that is willing to house, organize, and care for this valuable historic collection, the
world's largest in private hands.
Also available for distribution, some free and some at negotiated prices, are the
following:-
* Radio Cards: Hundreds of miscellaneous radio cards, worldwide
* Complete Set WR(TV)HB: 1947-2023: 77 volumes
* Small Radio Souvenirs: A thousand or more small radio items, including fridge magnets
* Complete set Passport to World Band Radio: 1984-2009
* Radio Station Documents: A dozen filing cabinets containing one million and one paper
documents from radio stations in every country
* Complete set Popular Communications Magazine: 1982-2013
* Complete set Monitoring Times Magazine: 1997-2011
* Bound volumes of Radio News: 1938-1959, 26 bound volumes

Thanks for posting, I forwarded it here: https://www.vrcmct.org wondering if they might be interested.  I was thinking that in a couple of decades, god willing, I might forward my collection to the site in Indiana.  I guess not to be  .

Seems like a radio museum would be the logical place- something like this: https://www.antiquewireless.org/homepage/museum/
