Hi. I have recently come into a huge amount of old movie memorabilia. My husband's grandfather was a movie buff - to the point that when he died, the University of Michigan bought the majority of it for $10,000,000. We are currently cleaning out the basement and have billions of stills (some autographed), posters, signs, magazines, books, press kits, and all kinds of other stuff - all of it relating to movies from the 1910's-1960's.

Much of the stuff has been picked through by the university, and much more has been left in the basement and been somewhat damaged, but there are still literally ROOMS full of this stuff. I know I have at least one autographed Clara Bow - who signed it from the living room of the house we are cleaning out.

Just wondering where to begin. We have done some cataloging of the press kits and posters, but not much after that due to the fact that we have, like, lives and stuff. Any suggestions? Any institutions or societies I should get in contct with?
