I agree with most.

1.       Clearly a spider; perhaps a species of sac-spider.

No, clearly not sac spider, family Miturgidae (older lit. Clubionidae for 
Cheiracanthium species - typical commonly seen sac spiders in buildings).  This 
is a 6-eyed individual, an immature, and looks like a member of Sicariidae, 
genus Loxosceles.


2.      These appear to be winged Psocids.

Yes, agree.


3.      This appears to be a webbing clothes moth based on the tuft of hair on 
its head.

Yes, agree.


4.      Some Dermestidae; perhaps black carpet beetle – museum beetles

Yes, Attagenus species, not black carpet beetle, however.

Hi,
I assume you are looking for someone to identify the specimens in the photos 
you have posted.  Here are my assessments.  Perhaps others will also provide 
theirs.

1.       Clearly a spider; perhaps a species of sac-spider.

2.      These appear to be winged Psocids.

3.      This appears to be a webbing clothes moth based on the tuft of hair on 
its head.

4.      Some Dermestidae; perhaps black carpet beetle – museum beetles

I hope this helps
