Collectionair

I know someone who wasn't important at all till 2 days ago but now I look at him admiringly.
He is not rich, not very handsome, an ordinary teller in the bank with very very usual life. He has 2 children and a wife who is nurse.
He is always happy and making fun of everything. Because we work in different parts I didn't pay any attention till 2 days ago...

... We were at work in the afternoon and working on a project related to the End Of Year procedure of the bank. Everyone busy and also tired and needed something to just relax, we started talking and he said he is a collectioner of old magazines of Iran !!! Age of some copies are more than 150 years. He had even some printed copies of those ones who announced the start of World War 1 or those who praised birth event of last Shah's son.
I asked how did he protect these papers for these years and the answer was interesting : He paid all his money for them during these years. Even completing this collection cost him a lot ,same as buying a house somewhere in Tehran.
He said if my son doesn't understand the value of this collection I wont give him as my inheritance.

He is looking for an institute who is qualified enough to take care of the treasure but with recent events of Iran can't rely on new managers of National Library or other known places.
He was sighing... if he doesn't find any emergency center those precious papers will be decomposed in near future and whole Iran will lost a part of the history.
