Message:: [QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 12382, member: 121"]Be cautious when dealing with the New York Historical Society - they will naturally assume that you are looking to DONATE and will work on that assumption for some time - not saying that they do not BUY but it is a hard sell. And they can drag things out proving provenance, etc. It took almost a year for my family to arrange a large DONATION of historical documents and photographs - even things that had a proven provenance due to having been mentioned in past publications or that had actually been published in the past. Not complaining, just good curating. But still a pain in the butt when you just want to "drop off" a few crates of "Ole New York".............................[/QUOTE]
