What I'm wondering is who is attempting to sell the papers?

From the article:

The collection, now officially named the Turing-Maxwell Collaboration Collection, comprises the largest known collection of Turing's offprints in the world - given by Turing to his close friend and colleague Professor Maxwell Newman.

Wikipedia says that Newman passed away in 1984: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_Newman

Is the current owner one of his heirs or some other party?
