some are quite beautiful and as Peter says, have a timeless quality  
like more ancient civilizations .....

that must be saved if only by the documentation (like your images)

I would do some resoration (ie spotting etc) but not be manic about  
it...

then I'd consider a book...there may be interest,

they are beautiful,
