saving damaged vintage photos

can you imagine if the Library of congress had thrown away these photos? !

even in its damaged shape, it may be the only photo left of the game between Yale and Wesleyan on 9.24.1913







I have often wondered about getting rid of damaged ephemera - am I throwing away one of the last few remaining pieces???





S.S. Grosser Kurfuerst - between ca. 1910 and ca. 1915





Capt. Baker, Princeton - between ca. 1910 and ca. 1915



comment below the pic states:
"...Hobart Amory Hare Baker (January 15, 1892 – December 21, 1918), known as Hobey Baker, was a noted American amateur athlete of the early 20th century. He was the only member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and Hockey Hall of Fame, and U.S. college hockey's annual award for most outstanding player is named in his honor..."
also mentions a website in his honor: http://www.hobeybaker.com/

so if someone over at The Library tossed this ...
just makes one wonder what has been tossed out over the century. aaack!
