According to an article in The New York Times, Melissa Rivers, daughter of the late Joan Rivers, is donating her mother’s extensive collection of jokes to the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY, where the jokes will be accessible to all.

Melissa Rivers told The Times that the Smithsonian Institution had been interested in the collection, but said it would not be on permanent display. She said her mind instantly went to the final shot of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” in which the golden Ark of the Covenant is locked inside a crate and placed in a vast warehouse with hundreds of other crates. She said she didn’t want to see that happen.

The museum is planning an interactive exhibition that will center on the comedian’s catalogue of jokes from the 1950s to 2015, and will also include clothing, jewelry and photos from her life.
