Further thoughts;
A well known folklorist bequeathed his collection to a college.
His subject was British and European folklore.
Six months after his death many of his non-English language books were to be found in the bargain box at 10p each.
Here in the West of Ireland we are attempting to set up a local archive of music, lore, history, photographs etc. Any such archive in your area could well benefit from such donations.
