Something to consider is if you might have children and grandchildren who will stumble on them someday. One of my favorite things to do when I visited my grandparents was to go down into their basement and flip through their collections of Life, Popular Mechanics and National Geographic. It gave me a window into life in the decades before I was born in a way that history classes never could. As much as I love the Internet Archive, I would not have found clicking through a digital magazine nearly as absorbing.
