(as ever, it's a combination of supply and demand - are they scarce, and are there people collecting the particular artists' discs.) - transfer 'em, so's you have a chance to decide whether you want to keep the recordings yourself - or delete 'em - later, then either list 'em & see who bites, offer them to dealers, and/or look up a museum or the like covering recorded music or sound generally, or first-half-of-the-twentieth-century tech, or the like. - public museums won't offer very much (if aught), but may well give you a credit on the public info cards if/when they put any of 'em on display, make them available to students of the period's music or technology, etc. - or even a senior/high school, college or university, making them available to people studying in the relevant fields. (- " don't chuck 'em, unless no-one will accept them.)
