The name I'm proposing (to the Board of Directors of LoG) is NAGA -- the North American Gaming Archive -- since the corp is broader in scope than just Hobby gaming. I personally own over 6,000 boardgame titles (many rares, some Sid Sacksons) that I'm ready to donate formally, as well as various original and/or early manuscripts -- like the ToEE original -- that I want to be preserved and not fought over. (Wills and Probate often end up in court; when you try to fight a museum covered by a 501, the state's on your side, and often the Feds too.)

Until the archived pieces are commonly known to be such, public ignorance could result in stupid people paying a lot for a publicly available copy. Thus, early on we'd probably have legal restrictions, a waiver/guarantee that must be signed, or even ::cringe:: limits on the amount copyable -- tho I abhor the latter as a restriction of freedoms.
