She inherited it from her father, and he from his father many years ago, but she was overwhelmed by the emotional and daunting task and recently asked me to help her out. The collection is large and consists mainly of rare early aeronautics books, manuals, catalogues, etc. And an extensive collection (over 5,000+) black and white or sepia WWI photographs. The photos consist of aeroplanes, crashes, soldiers, etc.

That have been painstakingly catalogued and identified by her father with notes. I have not examined and catalogued all the crates, but my dining room table is full of rare first editions, and I need to start listing some items.
