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.

You could ask Monmouth College. They are the home of Pi Phi's and Kappa's Alpha chapters and are only about 15-20 miles from the home of Alphi Xi Delta's founding school. Both Holt House and Stewart House are landmarks in town. They might be very interested in a Greek life archive.
