Hello! Hope this is appropriate to post here (if there are other communities you guys know of that might have tips on this please let me know!).

I came into possession of a HUGE collection of antique & vintage (1910s-90s) sewing patterns from a deaccessioned museum collection including sewing guides, magazines, and other ephemera. I don’t sew so I’ve been selling the patterns on eBay, but several of the guides (particularly the WWII era ones) seem pretty special and I feel like I should digitize them somehow.

Does anyone here know of a place I could digitize them for free public access? I’m no archivist but I love history and feel like I should make some kind of an effort to get these out there for people who might be interested!
