I understand that there are organisations which will arrange for old journals to go to libraries overseas where they can’t afford subscriptions, but I imagine it heavily depends on demand. I would love to take a few off your hands, but I won’t be in London until the 16th. Please email me if some will still be around!

Retirement is a myth even for non academics like me. I got my early escape package in 2011 and have never regretted it.

Incidentally Dad never offloaded 26 years of teaching books, & some 50+ years of IEE and other electronic style journals. We had a lot of disposal to do when we cleared the family house after he died and Mum downsized!

On the journals, you need to put them somewhere where they will be of maximal benefit to others. If a library won’t take them (I guess QM has them already) then the second hand bookshop SKOOB might at Russell Square. They have a Mathematics section.

Paper is on the way out, I am afraid. I guess that is how History can lose track of an era.
Embrace ebook readers and tablets!

By he way, elsevier is opening access to some of these journals. See http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/P11.cws_home/archivedjournals
