Plan? No.

Wish? Ideally they will go to someone who appreciates their historical and technical value and their rarity. Not just to someone who sees them as a financial investment and tries to make a profit from reselling them.
There are very few museums that would bother to inventarise them. Maybe a couple of special ones (say an HP-35 and 65 because of their possible connection to space flight and because they were the first of their kind) but all the others are worthless in that respect.

As I have forced my wife and son (who is off to university now) to live with my calculators for many years, they know that the things are not totally worthless. They are both competent internet users and eBay members so I don't think any special instructions will be required. Once they decide what to do (donate them to another collector or auction them off) they will make the best of it.
