I am sorting through the deceased estate of an avid aviation collector.
It has:
Photos (colour, black and white, negatives and 35mm slides) of aircraft going back to 1930's
Aviation books on all sorts of subjects
Copies of Flight magazines, some going back to 1931
Various old aviation magazines dating back to 1960s
Copies of the Aviation Historical Society of Australia Journal going back to the 1960s
Various manuscripts regarding Australian historical individuals which may or may not have been converted into books.
A number of other items of historical interest.
I am looking for suggestions of where these items can be put to good use with a view to preserving them for the future and for future aviation enthusiasts to see and enjoy.

Civil Aviation Historical Museum at Essendon.

Airways Museum / Civil Aviation Historical Society (http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/)

It has a large collection of the type of things you have but always wants more.
