This is a topic the wife and I discuss periodically... We have a couple boxes of our own photos, plus a large box that came from my parents and my Grand Mother. The photos from the Grand Mother are from the turn of the 20th century and even I don't know most of the folks in the photos. Certainly, my Son and his family would not want these...what to do? Pitch them?
We also have digital photos. Lots of 'em! At last count, I had about 35,000 digital photos on my computer. Yes, I said 35,000! I bought my first digital camera in 1995, while living in Japan. Digital cameras were not yet available in the US.
At some point, I say you just have to throw them away, including the digitals.
It's a real sentimental problem ...
