Idea: let's crowdsource 15K and get Stephen to give McClown the what for and the how to for an hour. Of course, using his excellent democidaire/police awareness. https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/at-work/mark-mcgowan-announces-highend-speaking-services-in-postpolitics-move/news-story/43b9635662cef4a91fcdc58787d418ac

Wow, this is tremendous. I hope you are keeping at the very least a couple of paper copies of all this. One day-- and the day will come-- this will be welcomed, even sought after by archivists. It's impossible to say what will happen in the future with institutional archives, of course, but my bet would be on the survival of at least a couple of major institutional archives, and many smaller, local / specialized historical archives. From my professional life I am aware of some ghastly losses, irreplacable and highly illuminating documents that just got tossed into the dumpster when heirs couldn't distinguish it from the clutter, or simply had no clue that anyone would care about a bunch of "old stuff." It's something that I always have front and center in my mind.
