I have a library collection of approximately 2,000 volumes with nearly 800 institutions and 100+ Greek organizations represented. Some are very rare, 130+ being more than a century old. To my knowledge, only the U. Illinois archives are larger.

Ready to downsize my life, I am searching for an institution or organization to permanently house them. I had tentatively agreed on the national HQ of my fraternity, but I'm not so sure that is a good idea as they are not set up for people doing research, and certainly have enough headaches without that distraction.

Does anyone have any ideas or does anyone know of a Greek friendly institution that would want to archive the material?

As an aside, as the material was collected I began a research project and now have a detailed listing of just about every local or national Greek organization that ever existed at more than 1,000 different institutions -- a compilation that I doubt can be found anywhere, including old Baird's Manuals.
