Generally we keep the best 2 copies in our collection. We have additional
copies available in our gift shop/bookstore for purchase. We are up front
with people upon donation, that they may be sold and why. Money from sale
of those goes toward our archives budget for such things as archive folders
and boxes. About a year ago a grandchild of a person now in a nursing
home purchased one and had some wonderful conversations with their
grandparent who was starting to have memory issues.
