That's pretty much the fate of the draft pages. They also make good packing material.
I have from the first hung onto the final printout, because Something Might Happen. And also because I'm a child of the Paper Age.
I go back and forth on the archiving thing. I do have some correspondence that might possibly be of interest to those who are interested in such things, and some notes that may ditto.
On the other hand, the University of Maryland's collection became unfunded, they fired the curator and now I believe it's only open by appointment; no one is actually taking care of what's there; there's no catalog, so any researcher will need to know that Paper X exists and is in the collection through independent means.
