DR MICHAELG scanning your programs is a great idea.
If you are planning on getting rid of the physical ones, you might ask at your local library sometimes an historical society is interested in preserving them.
The Putnam County Historical Society is now in possession of a many decade collection of programs, brochures, and newspaper articles that had been in a couple of file cabinets at my house for years.
That's a good idea. But I'm not getting rid of all of the physical ones, at least not yet. I'm keeping the pages with the program and the performers, and ditching all the pages with program notes, ads, staff, etc. That saves a huge amount of space when filing them away. The rest goes in the recycle bin.
