A professional organizer once suggested that memories of an item can be rekindled by the *image*
of a 'thing', as much as the keeping and handling of that item. Therefore, in order to clear out
your possessions, but not loose the memories or sentiment, the suggestion was to take a picture of
it.  The picture of the 'thing' will rekindle those memories just as well. 
Though one can go too far in digitizing everything, so judgment must be used.
