Is there a reason to keep bound encyclopedia sets?

Ours is from 1993 or so.

I do not think anyone has touched it in 10-15 years.

I can't think that we will want to use it again.

I can't think where to donate it.

I realize all the historical data in it is still true.

I think I remember something like 80-90% of the information stays valid in encyclopedias, they are just missing all the new stuff.

I just can't imagine anyone looking for data in that printed format with the Internet available. Even Britannica stopped publishing bound sets, a couple years ago, and is now online.

Suggestions?
