*** There are a couple of options - one being the ANARC CPRV (
Committee to Preserve Radio Verifications" collection which is now
housed at the University of Maryland in College Park. There are also a
couple of people in NRC who have picked up collections from others
although neither are actively DX'ing now nor inactive in the club
AFAIK.

There were some issues earlier on with availability of the CPRV
collection prior to and shortly after it got to UMD which resulted in
some of the other collections not going there.
