On July 18, 2013, Moog's widow Ileana Grams-Moog announced plans to donate Moog's archives, maintained by the Bob Moog Foundation, to [[Cornell University]]. The foundation offered her $100,000 but Grams-Moog would not sell the archives. She felt that Cornell could provide better access for researchers and that the foundation had not made enough progress toward a planned museum to be worthy of maintaining the collection. The foundation responded that it had sufficiently preserved the collection and had made efforts to improve storage, although it could not yet afford to build the museum.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mountainx.com/article/51871/Family-feud-continues-over-Moog-archives|title=Family feud continues over Moog archives|last=Frankel|first=Jake|work=[[Mountain Xpress]]|date=August 12, 2013|access-date=August 15, 2013}}</ref>
