Thank you for contacting us. There are a number of places one can try to sell such a collection including auction sites such as eBay, and information lists such as craigslist.org and even Amazon. I would research any of these for like items or lots of items to see what they are selling for. Used vinyl is a tricky commodity as the buyer does not know the quality and is not likely to spend much on it. Information the buyer will want includes the title of the record, the label name and number and possibly the recording artist, if there is one (sometimes a record is a two-sided instrumental, having no recording artist). You will probably have more luck selling them in small lots or one by one, rather than as a complete collection.

Donations are often accepted at places like libraries and/or universities. The Square Dance Foundation of New England used to own a huge collection of records, but I think they needed to downsize and gave away many of their records. Their website is http://www.sdfne.org/.

We have accepted many donations over the years in an attempt to archive one of each square dance record ever recorded. We are almost becoming a library of information on square dance records.
