Matt, The location listed on the CL ad is basically halfway on the path between where I live and my parent's house. I can pick these up on the way to visiting them if NJARC is interested in acquiring them. I will be at IA the weekend of March 8 and 9 for our monthly Workshop event.

Hi,
I'm a member of the NJARC. I contacted the president, he asked me to reach out to the CL guy to see what/how much he has.
we have a member who does a lot of scanning of schematics, he might be interested.
York is about 2.5 hours from me. I see Jeff mentioned he is 10 minutes away. I don't know how often you get to IA, but if the club decides to grab them and I can't get there fast enough maybe you can help us? Maybe we can meet half way somewhere so you aren't stuck with them forever.
Let me see what I can find out from the guy.
I appreciate that this was posted and shared, despite it being somewhat off topic for the list.
Best Regards,
Matt Reynolds

I don't believe they Radio and TV museum is interested in them. I offered many banker's boxes of SAMs Photofacts to them and they didn't want them. I think they have their own resources for copies.
Since the CL ad is for books, not the packets like I had, I may be incorrect in my assumption.
I live about 10 minutes away from the CL location.

The subject matter is out of our scope, but maybe the Radio and Television History folks would be interested?

There's a Craigslist ad for them:

After I noticed this ad, I asked the Internet Archive if they wanted
them,
but apparently they're already set. But it wouldn't be a bad idea for another institution to acquire and keep this collection so that it doesn't just disappear. (I can't, I'm way past merely "out of space".)
