Where can a Melville scholar's archive go?

Part of a wall of books--mainly battered very cheap copies of the same editions that Melville owned. You see his Shakespeare at the bottom left. Many of them are marked up with his annotations, so they function like a facsimile of his own copy.

Offprints below, many of them inscribed with names of great old scholars.

Small fraction of document boxes of papers.

Within a few years I will have be devoting myself full time to ORNERY PEOPLE.
