I Am Parting With My Crypto Library
The time has come for me to find a new home for my (paper) cryptography library. It’s about 150 linear feet of books, conference proceedings, journals, and monographs—mostly from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.
My preference is that it goes to an educational institution, but will consider a corporate or personal home if that’s the only option available. If you think you can break it up and sell it, I’ll consider that as a last resort. New owner pays all packaging and shipping costs, and possibly a purchase price depending on who you are and what you want to do with the library.
If you are interested, please email me. I can send photos.
EDITED TO ADD (8/1): I am talking with two universities and the Internet Archive. It will find a good home. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Have you considered contacting the Charles Babbage Institute at the University of Minnesota?

I don’t know how much interest they have in crypto in particular, but they have a fantastic collection of primary source materials from the earlier days of computing. I’m sure that other major libraries with an emphasis on computing may have an interest. Some may already have a focus on cryptography and be a better fit.
good luck finding a home for your collection!
