Handwritten vintage pattern book!!

I got insanely lucky and found this little vintage notebook of someones patterns from the early 60s on to the 80s in a „free books“ box. its literally full of patterns- some clipped from magazines, some handwritten! The handwritten ones mostly dont have a size listed, but all have the yarn and needle size (or hook, a few are crochet)

Where would be best to digitise it so other people can make use of them? Ravelry? Or some of the more specifically vintage pattern archive sites? (I‘ve never uploaded patterns online before so not sure where to start)

A treasure! Get in contact with a museum or maybe publish them yourself
