You can try half price bookstores and such, but I wouldn't expect too much. Old history/political/education/travel/etc books can be pretty hard to offload if you want to make anything off of them. There's not a lot of demand for them in the first place, and on top of that a lot of those books age poorly. Be prepared to call every used bookstore in your city.

Don't be surprised if nobody wants them as donations. The reason used bookstores don't want the books is that they're hard to move. They don't want to buy stuff that will sit around on the shelf for 3 years before they make money on it. Charity shops have the same kind of thing going where they don't want to waste shelf space on things that aren't going to move. This is especially true of political/history/travel books that get outdated and are replaced by newer books. My guess is that a public library might take them and hope to sell some at a book sale, but that they'd probably end up secretly disposing of almost all of them. Maybe they'd take some for the actual library collection, but iffy on this without actually looking at the books in question. The one thing most libraries don't have a shortage of is outdated reference materials. There's at least a fair chance you will end up having to dump a bunch of them in a recycling dumpster somewhere.
