Ask HN: What to do with old technical magazines and journals?
I inherited a lot of old computer magazines, journals, and books, dating mostly from the mid-80s to the mid-00s. They're really neat to flip through, but I don't really need them and they're mostly taking up space. I haven't had issues getting rid of the books (donating to libraries and a used book store) but I'm not sure what to do with the magazines and journals.
I've got hundreds of issues of:
- SunWorld
- SysAdmin
- SunExpert
- Server/Workstation Expert
- ;login:
- ACM Queue
- Communications of the ACM
- Computer Communication Review
- ACM Computing Surveys
- The Internet Protocol Journal
- IT Professional
- Radio Experimenter
- Inside Solaris
- Packet
and fewer assorted issues of some others. I'm not trying to make any money, just trying to figure out if there's anywhere that would value them so I don't have to throw them away. Any ideas?

3. Offer them to archive.org
4. Recycle and let go.
