[game_preservation] List of libraries/archives that take donations?

[Henry Lowood]

Frank,
My suggestion would be to find an easy way to do this without 
re-inventing the wheel. One thought: There are a small number of media 
vendors (jobbers) who supply to libraries. These vendors have or can 
produce lists of who buys software from them. Whether they would share 
that information?  I don't know.
I can supply the name of our primary vendor off-line with contact 
information, but I would want to ask first if it's ok with them.
Let me know if you want me to do that.
Best,
Henry
