Possibly the largest SF collection ever donated? (1 Viewer)

Sci-fi treasure trove donated to U of Calgary
From the first couple of paragraphs:

A massive collection of science fiction and pulp magazines spanning the last century has been donated to the University of Calgary which officials say will be a boon for literary and pop culture research.
University staff were stunned by the size of the donation: upwards of 35,000 volumes dating back to the 19th century, much of it bought at second-hand stores across North America and Britain.

This is pretty cool...I'm especially interested in the books purchased in Britain, as very little British SF reaches across the pond (although a large amount still makes it to Canada...aka Bob Shaw's Orbitsville).
Given that I live in Calgary, I should sign up for an SF class and plunder the treasure. Aye matey...

Wow that's a huge collection of SF, must visit Canada soon. I have the first paperback edition of Orwell's '1984' should I donate it?
