Vintage auto literature needs good home

I have some vintage automotive books and literature and need to find a good home for them. Any suggestions or contacts? How about Collier's museum? Harrah's? etc?

I have stuff from the 1917 through the 50's.

If museums don't work out, I am very close with someone who has an extensive private automotive and automobile related collection. It is stored in a climate controlled building with a working garage in one corner and a soda fountain in the other. Unless we are talking truckloads, it might be a good fit.

Let me know and I can put you in contact.

Donate and take a huge tax write off. I did that with some Hollywood trade magazines from the 50's.

Dumb question, do you have anything on the Lone Star Motorcars of San Antonio? I know a gentleman who has been restoring one and cannot find all the photos he needs. No examples in museums he knows of.
