Old Software

[cuzzzzzz]

Hi.. trying to decide what to do with tons of old software (full and shareware) dating back to 1985. It's on 5-1/4" 3-1/2" disks, and CDs. Includes OSs (early DOS, Windows, OS2) and a huge variety of programs (plus backups.. which i did for every program I purchased). Won't be using 95% of it, but hate to just chuck it (and won't... I have two older computers set up to occassionally use some of it). Now going to just pack it in cartons to make room for other stuff.

All legit. Suggestions? Know of any Computer History, or archive, locations that may have a need for it?

Thank you
