As I understand it, Robert Neal's materials went to the National Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio.

I appreciate all the contributions to this thread.

Thanks!

Kev,

With this thread and all the "new" Packard advertisements just loaded to the photo archive, following scanning by yourself, just wondering what happens to the paperwork you scan to the Website? Not scans from members of materials in their hands but materials donated to you to be scanned. Maybe, if you don't want to retain the papers physically, those papers could be donated to a suitable archive, ie PPG or National Packard Museum or ........?

Mal, to answer your question, a lot of the duplicate literature I have I move along to other people and put that money back into the website to help cover the hosting costs. In the past its only been a couple of pieces here and there. Duplicate services manuals, owners manuals, etc. But over the last few weeks I've been organizing everything that was donated to me from the larger collections and I have probably 500-600 unique pieces of advertising literature alone (magazine adverts), and duplicates of mostly everything. For example, the same advert printed in 3 different sizes due to the different magazine they were cut out of. So pieces like that will get moved along. I'll probably bring a significant chunk of that to South Bend to get that back out there into hands of owners who may want some of the this for wall art. Depending on the piece were talking about $2- $4 each. So, it a few dollars for the website which helps to fund larger server capacity for additional storage space.

Kev, nice to know it's all for the good of the Website and benefits others as well.
