Morning Chris - In the UK the County Records Offices' Archives are the places where to lodge these olde and cherished books and documents. Most parishes have now deposited their church registers and other Parish Chest documents and are kept in 'Safe' custody and recorded for all the public to reference, free of charge. They also have shelves full of these types of books for public viewing; almost like your local library, except of course they are not for lending.

It's a bit tired but mostly all there. I'm not trying to sell it, but asking of you what should I do to preserve its contents? I just figure it's kind of neat, full of all sorts of OE anachronysms and some Latin which no-one these days ever learns. It'd be a shame to lose this one, I think. What to do? Quid rides?
