I received this interesting news from David Yudovin (namesake of MSF's Yudovin Award, and @davidyudovin here on the Forum), which he gave permission to post here:

From: International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame
To: All Past Inductees, Future Inductees, and Marathon Swimming Enthusiasts
It is a great pleasure to announce that a new chapter for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame will begin as of January 1, 2015.
The International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame (IMSHOF) will remain an autonomous, self-governing entity, but will move under the umbrella of the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF). We believe the resources that the ISHOF have to offer will allow us to move into the future and initiate moves toward financial soundness more efficiently. Beth and I have been given the privilege of spearheading this transition. We have several ideas that we believe will help move the IMSHOF into a world-class Hall of Fame befitting our grand sport.
We very much look forward to working with the ISHOF CEO, Bruce Wigo and his staff, as well as you, the marathon swimming community in the future.
Very Sincerely, David and Beth Yudovin

With IMSHOF now subsumed under ISHOF, it would appear that Santa Clara will be (de facto) IMSHOF's new home, too.

An interesting tidbit, this year's honouree induction ceremony is taking place in San Pedro, California, the same weekend as the CCSF and SBCSA award banquets (Nov 6-8).
