My grandma passed years ago, I now possess some of the odds and ends no one in the family has strong enough attachment to hold on to.

There are a few things I suspect might be of historical value to some folks. Like high school yearbooks; I've reached out to her high school to see if they need a physical copy. Other than that, any advice for where to search for interested parties? Geneology hobbyists? Universities doing anthropology research? I'm willing to put in a few attempts. After a couple attempts and "noes", I'm fine trashing the stuff.

Yearbooks, government records, teachers license, to the more personal, diaries, photographs that I have less expectation of finding someone interested in them.

Any advice on where to search, fellow lemmies? I am US-based.

Edit: thanks, I'll def add local museums, libraries, and historical societies to the list. Anyone with any geneology hobby experience? What little I've been exposed to them, they're absolute sleuths, I just don't know ways to find contacts other than cold calling a random individual. I'm assuming if they do organize, it's more online since searches for local chapters of some sort hasn't gotten me anywhere yet.
