As a result of my cousin moving into a retirement home, I have been helping her downsize from about 2500 sq. ft. to about 600 sq. ft. In this process, she will needed to find a good home for a lighthouse postcard collection which was started by her mother. She has about 600 or so lighthouse postcards most likely dating back to the early 1900's. Most of the collection is displayed on a very large cook board where the postcards have been attached with thumb tacks.

This is where I need the help of this forum, what suggestions does anyone have in finding a suitable home for all of these postcards. I am NOT trying to sell them, only to find a proper place for them so as my cousin knows they have gone to a person or maybe an organization who will appreciate them as much as she has.

Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide.

I have 2 suggestions for you:

1. Contact the National Lighthouse Museum in Staten Island at (718)390-0040 or look them up at www.lighthousemuseum.org to get their email address.
2. Contact Tim Harrison in Maine at (207)259-2121 or email him at editor@lighthousedigest.com

I'm sure they will have a source that will either buy them at a reasonable price or you can donate them and claim it on taxes.

I would be interested in what you find out.
