That's a good question, but if we can find a host library, we should probably think bigger. Can we set it up so that it could take additional donations (e.g. I might eventually want to donate my folk music library)? And could it do digitization of the public domain material? This might be the chance to build a truly major collection, with the Paton Library as the seed.
