Anatomy of a Donated Comics Collection

I found this article about a family finding a university home for its collection of comics to be surprisingly affecting. It's worth noting that if you hope one day to donate your books in similar fashion, it's probably going to be a bit more difficult than you imagine it might be. Not only does the collection have to be of a kind valuable to an educational institution, they have to want exactly what you're offering on the terms you're offering it. Speaking as someone with a father who passed away owning a significant specialty book collection of another kind, it's really hard for family to find such a home for that much material after someone dies.
