I know the Computer History Museum would be happy to get their hands on 
the first 1000 or so RFCs held as ISI, but the library at USC is also 
quite interested in keeping them and everything else that was in Jon 
Postel's office.

The Computer History Museum and the Royal Library of Sweden are both 
partnering with the RFC Editor to keep a digital copy of RFCs in their 
archive.
