I'm wondering if anyone can confirm / affirm that major conference proceedings are generally available? I'm looking at a near complete stack of proceedings (ACM SIGMOD, VLDB, etc.) and it appears that the official scans are missing front matter and such in some cases. 

Hi, all. Related to this: I have come into possession of a complete (or at least nearly complete)
collection of TUGBoat, the newsletter/journal of the TeX User Group, going back to the early
1980s. It’s from a friend who was very involved with the group over the years.

His wish was that, if possible, they find a home at an appropriate library or other institution.
So far, I have not been able to locate one. For example, The Museum of Printing in Haverhill,
Massachusetts (which I highly recommend!), already has access to a similar collection.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an institution that might be interested in considering
this collection? 

Thanks very much.
