Do you know what is happening to the wealth of information that DSA must have had in his personel library?

Are there any chances another author can contact the Dan San Abbot heirs and pick up the torch so to speak? I hope Dan San Abbot archives are kept together like the Ferko collection or something like that.

I hope Dan San Abbot had the foresight of stating in his will what to do with his research archives. I guess his heirs will sell the collection to various interested researchers.
