Hi, I've got two magazine boxes (upright-on-the-shelf type) full of Peterson's Magazines, late 1800's but missing covers and color plates. They're generally in pretty poor condition. I'd be willing to bet that there are quite a few surviving copies of Peterson's in much better condition than these.
I've been debating for years whether to keep these or trash them, or find someone who'd want them in spite of their condition. Now I'm considering going through them and pulling (carefully) any good pages relating to fashion and trashing the rest. This idea came out of realizing that there are probably some scaleable pattern diagrams in some of these that might be worth salvaging. So, am I breaking some unwritten law of ephemera preservation if I save the best parts of these and trash the rest? Apart from the fashion/costume content, I can't really see much use for them. They're not displayable. Any thoughts? Thanks. Laurie T.
