Picture perfect

One of the anti-clutter newsletters I'm subscribed to suggested scanning pieces of paper and keeping electronic copies - rather than the clutter of the paper version. But is this as satisfying? I'm thinking specifically of momentos, like concert tickets, etc which some of us keep in memory boxes or photo albums, and revisit from time to time. Would it be the same looking through digital files? Would that helps us evoke memories of the event as much as the physical item?
