1) Bring them with you.

2) Purchase a VHS to DVD converter (sell it later on some marketplace)

ex: https://www.walmart.com/search?q=dvd%20recorder%20vcr%20combo&typeahead=dvd%20recorder%20vcr%20combo

3) Convert the films yourself

4) Enjoy your collection!!

Still have an image of a huge bookcase with 100 VCRs in it!
