Here is an idea. Write a book. Everyone here would most likely purchase a
copy. There are also plenty of book publishers that might be interested
as well. You could realize profits and satisfy everyone's idea that the
information should be as widely disseminated as possible.

>>Let's face it, 3D photography, particular it's developmental
>>history is largely unknown by the public.  

Granted, but if it ends up with the NSA, and NO OFFENCE IS MEANT HERE,
but it would most likely still not be seen by the public because the NSA
and other groups within the Stereo Community don't deal much with the
general public, either. Outside of the PSA and the Internet, I never see
much public education filter down to the general public.

Personally, I think if one has a collection like this, there should be
some effort made to at the very least, make the information available in
some form or another. HOWEVER, you could very well end up with legal
issues should you proceed to duplicate and profit from this, so talk to
the remaining family members, first - if for nothing other than peace of
mind. I own a number of signed black and white photographs - not rare,
but given to my family over the years or purchased at sales. I can't
reproduce them freely and sell them without permission. Would you get
into trouble, most likely not, but one never knows.

As for selling the info on eBay, Go for it. It is yours and I think you
should be free to dispose of the material as you see fit. You might also
auction it off using other auction sources. You have many opportunities
here. 

Good Luck
