Old software collection needs to go, where can I archive it?

My father is cleaning out his office and has come across his huge collection of old software.

 

The software ranges from the year 1980 - 2000. It includes full copies of old OS's such as Windows 98 and even OS/2 from IBM. There are other programs such as Encyclopedia Encarta and BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs movie and accompanying point-and-click adventure game! The medium is exclusively CD-ROMs and Floppy disks. There is approximately 200 CDs and Floppies in total.

 

I was wondering if there is anywhere I could archive this software online in some public database? Or if there is anyone who would like to have the collection just let me know! If Linus would like to run them of course he can 😛

I find it a shame to throw away these old relics and I am sure there is interest for them else where 🙂

LGR! Loves old software expecially when packaged, and showing it to us/uploading the contents on archive.org when possible 🙂
