I received this via email. I thought would share it here on TinkerDifferent. Questions? You may contact the KansasFest Committee.

A few years ago, noted Apple enthusiast Tony Diaz passed away. Tony was a long-time collector and contributor within our community. He amassed a large collection of computers, documentation, peripherals and memorabilia -- some of the items being rare or unique.​
Since Tony's passing, KansasFest has been trying to gain access to the collection so that we could scan, archive and preserve information of value to the Apple II Community. Now, we have that chance. We've finally been able to communicate with Tony's Estate and make arrangements for a team of volunteers to have access to the collection for one week. We plan to identify, pack and move as much as possible within that time frame.​
However, this effort will take considerable funds to acquire and move the collection cross-country to our storage location. We estimate the need for several moving pods, packing supplies, and about 10 people to accomplish the task. To help fund this effort, we have started a GoFundMe campaign:​
Please consider making a donation to help save Tony’s collection. KansasFest is a charitable 501(c)(3) organization, and your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.​
Thanks,​
The KansasFest Committee​
