Old Cross References, etc.

How important is it to keep old catalogs, cross-reference data,
component buyers guides, data books, data sheets, etc.??? I've collected
a LOT of the above from about the mid 70's and while not ready to
dispose of it yet, I am really curious what others on this list think
about keeping such stuff. As for some examples:

RCA SK Cross Reference/Replacement Catalog
1974 IC Master
1976 C&K Switch Catalog
Printouts of instructions for CP/M utilities, programs, etc.

And on the topic of getting rid of stuff, I had been in contact with
some list members last year about IIRC HP tapes, OS/2 something, etc. A
lot of that stuff got packed away (we had company) and I am just
starting to dig stuff out again. I can't remember who wanted this stuff,
so if you will email me with what we had discussed, I'll keep my eyes
open for the stuff and get back to you as I find it. Thanks.
