The problem is, the old stuff is the best stuff. STOP! Must not let emotions interfere with process of decluttering.

Without emotions, we are just robots, with no purpose and no dreams. (I seem to be channeling Eastern philosophy today, don't ask me why!) But some things you can do some things to reduce. The 78's, for example. Find a copy of the audio collector's magazine
Goldmine, check into a commercial conversion to digital format. Then you can keep one of the discs as the remembrance, and still have the singing (which is the real remembrance) on-line to listen to whenever you wish. (Please back it up into a safe-deposit box in case of disaster/theft). Photos can be digitized as well. (My stack for digitization is massive!) Every digitized book I buy reduces that much shelf space...
