Yes and no. Among my most treasured possessions are photographs from pre-war 
Lublin in Poland which I inherited from my father (not taken by him). Those 
images survived the Holocaust, decades of suboptimal storage in Communist 
Poland, and a move to Denmark in 1972. I now have them, and they exist in 
the cloud too:

So not all old photos get thrown out.

Cheers,
Nathan
