My thanks to all of you who responded. I have passed the Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum information on to my friend.
As you can imagine, losing her husband has been very difficult, so trying to think through what to do has been difficult. Your help with this has encouraged her.

Ellen,
If your friend would like to contact us about exactly what she has, we would be more than happy to discuss her late husband's collection with her to determine if any of the items would complement or fill in gaps within our collection. She can contact me directly (either by phone at 401-849-3990, ext. 1110 or by email at markham@tennisfame.com).
Cheers,
Nicole

I have a friend who is the widow of a tennis celebrity and has her husband's collection. She's looking for a home for some, or all of it, and I thought someone in this Forum might know where she could start. Much of it is film/digital, but there are photos, posters, etc.
Although I have left the CVHS Board, I am still an AAM member & continue to enjoy reading the Forum. CVHS was the third museum board I've been on in my life, so who knows what's around the next corner? At any rate, my thanks to all of you for sharing!
