Several years ago, I developed a relationship with a film studies
organization that welcomed donations of *anything* on 16mm film for their
archive and they use those films for, obviously, film study - including
production, writing, direction, etc. from bygone days and do comparative
studies vs. "current" direction and production methods and practice, etc. I
literally sent probably 6-8 pallets of K-12 educational films to them. Those
pallets were extremely heavy, btw. ;-)
My admins thought the organization was a worthy cause and didn't question
the donation to these folks:
NW Film Center

Don't know if they still want films, but I'd check. They're in Portland, OR
not *that* far from you.
Tell them I sent you! :-) Just kidding.
