He offered his numismatic reference library to the ANA but funds were not available. This occurred at the same time as fund raising for the ANA headquarters in Colorado Springs. Gans then arranged for the library containing over 10,000 titles to go to the UCLA library. His collection of seals and the related library was donated to UCLA in 1987.

  Three auction sales were conducted under the name of Edward Gans 1954 to 1960.
