I understand that. However, Seaton was a very important person in the
world of Stereo Photography and many photographic related museums would
certainly entertain the idea of accepting a collection. I was not talking
about "Junk". My issue with museums is they want it but often do not
display it. Consider the Smithsonian. Tens upon Tens of millions of
items, that cold be displayed but there is a lack of time and space to
begin to display even 5% of what they have. then there is the millions of
items in storage all over the place.

That is why I think a book would be nice. It could be easily published
privately if no publisher wanted to do it.
