One other problem of having an individual or small group administer a collection is that of personality clash.  If someone simply doesn't like a person or group, they could prevent access, or be less cooperative.

There is a great combination radio and steam engine museum in East Greenwich, RI.  They have the actual building of a ca. 1900 coastal station, and just a phenomenal collection of pre-1930 radio gear.  Also a number of working Corliss steam engines and others of the era.  Those who attended the NRC Convention I hosted in the 1980's may remember it.  A tour was done then. I should ask if they would be interested in preserving broadcast QSLs.

And don't forget IBOC!! (grin, duck, and run like heck)
