Rare Sanskrit Manuscript

How do you actually value an ancient manuscript which dates back to the 18th century? Are there scholars around who can actually read and decipher every word and illustrations in it? This is my strange journey into the world of collectibles. Philatelic, Numismatic and now into Manuscripts. It's simply fascinating. Anyone who knows of any collectors of such ancient manuscripts, please let me know. I am trying to find a good home for something that may mean a lot. Something that explains the existence of human beings in the planet and their life after death, the way rituals are to be performed etc etc. I'm not an expert and would like to know more. The scroll itself is 15 feet long and has many scholars interested in it.
