Donation of old computer manuals and textbooks from the 1970s to 2000s?

I am cleaning out my parent’s house and I have a large assortment of old computer manuals, programs, and textbooks from the 1970s to 2000s from my father’s work.  Are there any organizations that may want these to archive?  Ones in the San Francisco Bay Area would be particularly good because that is where I am located.  Otherwise, they are just going to get tossed.

NEC Staff Buy from 1989

Just picked up what I think is an NEC 286, however someone grabbed the monitor before I could get there. One of my other monitors doesn’t work and this graphics card has some weird switches on it. If anyone has the manual I’d appreciate it. It’s a Powermate 1. Enjoy the video !!

Microsoft MS-dos 3.2 new in box found

I just ended up coming across a new in plastic and box1986 MS-DOS 3.2 operating system. I tried looking this up on ebay and Google and cannot find much information on it or what it would be worth or how I would go about selling it. I was just wondering if anyone had any information. Thanks in advanced!!

Acer Aspire Predator Gaming PC

Hi there, after moving house i have found a possession belonging to my grandad. An Acer Aspire Predator gaming PC, trying to search this PC i have found very few results so i took it into a local PC specialist shop and he offered me £1500, with it being the original 2008 Acer Predator model i thought i would do more research as to obtain more information for this device. Any help ?
