I do not agree, Robert. Just for example I have done some reaserch about the battle of Carrhae. I think I have read most of the important publications about this event (not all, I admit - I know about two relevant publications in Italian, one in French and one in English, which I haven't read so far), including a recent book (published in 2008) by G. C. Sampson. And I am of the opinion that the best overall analysis of the battle is still an article by K. Regling published in 1907.
In my other studies I have often read articles published before 1923 and found many of them very useful.
Therefore I'm sure that offering even such old studies is great and can be really helpful.
