The owner of the company I work for has memorabilia from his Father-in-law who was in the class of 1939. Things like old yearbooks and a leather bound Commencement booklet. We are looking to see if anyone has an interest in these items or if there is somewhere that has a collection that we could donate these to?

The school has all the yearbooks, but for other more unique items, you might contact Cushing:

If this includes Corps "stuff" you should contact the Sanders Center or the Corps of Cadets Association

Sorry for the lack of a reply. I am trying to find out what all they have. The Commencement booklet is really cool and I believe the yearbooks are 1936-1939.

Another item mentioned the other day is a letter he wrote from Nuremberg to his wife mentioning Heinrich Himmler's suicide.

I'm interested in purchasing the yearbooks as a set please, as well as any Corps brass, including belt buckles and Sam Browne belt.

Any follow up on this? I collect ticket stubs and medals/pins.
