[Nottingham] who needs archives?

Hi,

I am having to do a big clear out and among my piles of books I have 
come across a folder of old computer programmes and other items going 
back over last 50 years. Anyone think it is worth keeping such things as 
-

programme to calculate Apollo moon launches (written in 1970);
letter to local phone company, Diamond Cable, on how to become internet 
point of presence;
letter to employer's clients (like BA, BASF, IBM, Bay Networks, HP, etc) 
on using '<' and '>' to mark pieces of their press releases in bold or 
italics, for use by translators, written in early 1980s;
article in local magazine promoting use of electronic mail, written 
around 1985.
Those letters were written whilst I was employee of a PR company, and 
when I left I joined a hosting company located in Hockley.

I am of a mind to junk the lot, along with old diaries and piles of 
photos from travels across USA and Europe. What does anyone think - keep 
or junk it all?
