Forgot you're into genealogy, duh you've kept it.
Let's talk about that china from Nippon. Can you get me a picture or is that a huge hassle right now? I had pictures taken of an item I wasn't willing to donate and the collections manager was happy to have that instead of the actual piece. Some books might be considered rare or of value to a particular library collection, so you may want to look into that. Another tax write off and it will be preserved in a way, as well as accessible to others.
You've got me thinking about what happened to my father's post card collection of a specific theme. I think someone we know bought it but if not I have a plan to scan and then donate it. We still have the house, I can't wait to go through that with my sister some day, ugh.
