I inherited several pieces of memorabilia from a deceased friend. Among these are photos and stories of a Bolt Aircraft Inc Auotcopter, ca 1960s.

Does the airport have a history/memorabilia "department"--would someone be interested in these things? I have no use for them and would like to find a good home for them.
