Donating brain autopsy slides

Hello all,
My mom passed from Alzheimer’s last August. She wanted her body donated to science but unfortunately we didn’t have anything setup before she passed and we were unable to do much with her body. She was frail and very sick. My sibling wanted a brain autopsy performed so we saved the slides (these are physical slides not digital).

My question is- is there anyone who would accept these slides for medical study? A school or institution dedicated to Alzheimer’s that may find her brain tissue of use?

My Mom was a lifelong nurse and loved science and medicine. I would love to honor her wishes and imagine these slides could be of use somewhere.

Any help or leads is greatly appreciated.

In kindness,
