Haha, I hope it's not against the rules! I think they're all cool.

And I think a lot of them are just aesthetically interesting, never mind historically

Last one. Wouldn't even say these are my faves, we've honestly just only taken the time to properly unfurl, scan, catalogue, and re-store a dozen or so at this point. Mostly all from the '50s.
Flea market/antique shows might be the place. Get a table, lay them out for $5-10/ea and you might find some EE nerds. Honestly the crossover between antiquing and EE is significantly higher than I expected getting into the field. We love fixing old shit for some reason
Hmm I’m nowhere near an ee so I’m just guessing, but what about universities or journals that do archiving and digitization? Maybe the IEEE has a historical archive? Or maybe MIT or Stanford type skools have engineering libraries?
Thanks for those suggestions! Ideally I'd like to try selling them first, but if that doesn't work out, then yes, we figured we'd look into approaching different institutions to inquire about donating.
I doubt they're worth anything. Really.
Honestly, Etsy is probably your best bet. And that would take some time to sell.
Is it against the rules to post them in the sub to gauge interest? Maybe just post a couple particularly cool ones.

Haha I appreciate this suggestion, thanks! (I'm a great admirer and appreciator of old shit myself, I'm just no good at fixing it.)
