Genealogy Will
There has occasionally been discussion about what might happen to all of our papers when no one in the family has an interest or inclination to continue or even save all of our research. A friend sent this link to a site with a form that you can use to designate what should happen to your "stuff."
My Genealogy Will: A form to help you determine and designate who should inherit your genealogical research:

This Week's Legacy Webinars
"The War of Independence changed history; our history; our families’ history. It’s a story about which we want to know more. Did my ancestor help? …even a little? There’s much to be learned about our ancestors’ roles in this moment in history. In this class, we’ll discover where to start, what the best resources are, and how to tackle the research. So, let’s go in search of answers using the soldiers’ service and pension records and unit narratives."
Hookers, Crooks, and Kooks - Aunt Merle Didn't Run a Boarding House April 10
"Each of us wants to ignore that scalawag, that counterfeiter, or that madam in our family, but the black sheep may prove the most interesting of all. Learn to examine clues in unusual and also common sources. Learn how they lead to locating more records."
