German, History Books

Hello Everyone, I am not a student so please forgive my intrusion into this form but I am hoping someone out there can help me. I have inherited a great deal of German books, some are reference, some are stories/fiction and some are also very old, possibly eve gothic German. I have no need for these books, however I cannot bare to just throw them away. Would anyone have any interest in using the books for their studies or revision depending on their course/degree, whether it’s for a language, history or even geographical course. I look forward to hearing from someone shortly as it would be such a shame for this history to be lost. Many thanks!

If they are very old then maybe contact the British library

or
Institute of Historical Research
University of London
http://www.history.ac.uk/contact

or Any uni with a History or German department.

Maybe choose local or the bigger ones as they will do more research.

All books are relevant. They sound interesting. You will prob want somewhere that can take them all. Brit Lib might be selective.

Hope that helps. Let me know how you get on.
