Collection from first issue (1888?) to ~2000

I have inherited my father’s collection of National Geographic magazines. I believe that the first issue was 1888. Most are originals, but some of the very old issues are reprints (red cover?). 
This collection should go somewhere—schools, nursing homes, a private collector—so they are not lost forever. I am looking for some direction or advice on how this might be accomplished. 
I live in Florida and have 40+ book boxes of these magazines. 
I have attached a few pictures to give a sense of the older issues, their condition—with some in storage sleeves.
