Michael,
There are whole hosts of academic museums and libraries that may very well be interested in your work. I would not be the least surprised and they are very professionally curated of course. And there is the Smithsonian and other public museums. These are the sorts of places where they won't "disappear".

if you think Cody is almost as far away as Alaske, I think I should send you some maps. I do go to Trinidad annually but have never been to the school. I do not think any of the shooters that are there at that time do, unless they are gunsmiths, and strangely, few if any gunsmiths these days, seem to be interested in history.

Anyway, I'm no expert, and I can only guess what you have, but Cody seems to be the best to me. They do allow people in, and who doesn't want another good reason to go to Cody? It's a decent place where one can shoot too.

PS. One other possibility - Friendship and the NMLRA has some sort of curated archives and they do copy things and mail them to folks that ask nicely for very little or no cost. Seem to be good folks, not sure how reliable they will be in the future.
