You can see if there is a stamp/hobby store in your area. They might be interested in looking at it. If there isn't, then try e-Bay. Take numerous photos and post it for sale there.

Most old stamp collections really aren't worth very much. People often believe because they are old, they are worth a lot, but normally they aren't. The price depends on the condition of the stamps, collectability.

The organization is entirely up to the collector. Some people organize by country and by date within a country. Some people organize them by topic - that is, what is on the stamp.

If stamps are organized by country, the countries might be organized alphabetically, geographically, or by political connections , historical or current ( i.e. Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand might be kept together.) Some people like to keep their one best copy of each stamp in a special collection . You can buy albums with printed pictures of stamps and mount the stamps over the pictures, in which case the album supplies the organization. You can buy blank album pages with printed borders and nice binders or you use ordinary paper and notebook binders. You can keep your collection in stockbooks ( special sheets that have pockets in them to hold stamps). Some are bound and some are loose leaf some are heavy manilla and some are transparent vinyl. You can keep your stamps in envelopes, glassine or otherwise and buy boxes and cases for envelopes. I have a lot of stamps in plastic shoe boxes and even manila envelopes
