Is there even a Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in Alvin, Texas? The article formerly said:
Karpeles Manuscript Library in
Alvin, Texas is located in the old First Methodist Church building at 800 West Sidnor St., about a 30-minute drive from Houston. As of December, 2012, its opening date had not been announced.
while their website (
http://www.rain.org/~karpeles/alvfrm.html; "rain.org" appears to be a website hosting service) gives an address and shows a picture, but then says
Museum Opening early 2015. Hours of Operation: Tuesday-Friday 11:00 am - 4:00 pm.
Well early 2015 is behind us now, and the phone number given is out of service. This latter, especially, makes me doubt that this is a live operation, and so I have removed the Alvin, Texas entry from the list.

I do not know if this applies to all Karpeles Manuscript Library Museums, but at least the one in Florida has tax-exempt status.
Weak support. Such a list would definitely be useful, though I am concerned that if it is *just* a list, it might not meet Wikipedia guidelines for a standalone article. How much information do we have on all the museums, so we can ensure that we don't leave any of them as "starving stubs"? --
