WHY keep all that junk? No one really cares or remembers! Just a FIRE hazard. Dump anything over a year old.
Bill Hard

Mr. Bill W. Hard-Heck, my wife says that about my Model A parts stash! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I can empathize with the problem of chronicling history. I have been a photographer all my life, and have hundreds of thousands of photographs. Slides, negatives, prints, 35mm, medium format with Hasselblad, 4X5 negatives. It is overwhelming. I am scanning the "good stuff" as color material decomposes fairly rapidly over time. I was scanning some Kodachrome slides I took of a Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980 that have been attacked by fungus. Something to consider about saving your club history-once the images are gone, they are gone.
