Yes, get as much family stuff to the archives as you can. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when I started my genealogy research. I have found old newspaper archives about them and even the writings of one.

Your family sounds like it needs some researching. I remember Agricola, was it near Brewster...which is also no longer there. A friend has donated many pictures of Brewster to the archives. It was a phosphate town as well.
