Subject: Gazeteers - how important?

We are in the midst of consolidating our map library into the main
library. I have approximately 22 shelves of paper gazetteers from
around the world. Most but not all our from the US government, and the
most recent seem to be from the 1990s. Most are from the 1950s to 1970s.
My question is: how useful/important are they today? Should I be saving
eight shelves worth of them?
Thanks,
Rob
