before I read your post...
On the bookshelf downstairs is the 1961 edition of Collier's Encyclopedia, twenty volumes' worth. My parents (who didn't have much money) bought them back then, when I was 12.
Although after 62 years I don't crack them open much anymore, and although I had thought some years ago about getting rid of them, I wouldn't do that now.
That's because these volumes represent an accurate description of the world from a white, Western perspective -- long before "political correctness" became a mainstream concept. From before the left began to rewrite and obliterate history to the tune of George Orwell.
In a world in which being white will eventually engender the same kind of hatred from nonwhites as does antisemitism produces toward the Jews today, these books contain a true record of "what was".
