Does anyone know where I could donate this set? Or a good place to take them. Thanks

The Smithsonian?

(sorry, I couldn't help it!)

I know, maybe I should keep them and they will be worth a lot money.

I would never throw away a book but who would want them.

Why don't you google or do ask.com with ""donation sources for encyclopedias"" and see what comes up?

Good idea Tinkrbl44

I know the Encyclopedia Britannica 1911 is of value because so much of history was revised afterwards....

Javala-la, I guess I may just keep them.

Maybe I should of kept my 8-track tapes too.

I donated my set to the local library book store. I see sets there all the time to be sold.

Sorry to say, but they probably have very little value.

My library has a sign on the door that they do not want donations of encyclopedias. I hope you find a place for them.
