I strongly doubt it. To a large university library, that isn't that big a collection. It's about the size of my personal library, e.g., which could be fit into a single room if properly organized.

I think the problem is just that a lot of universities no longer care about folk music (a lot of my books are university discards!), and it's hard to find and negotiate with the ones that do. Even if there is one which wants the material, it has to be transported!
