In our ahistorical age, it may seem a paradox, or an old fool’s paradise, to state that the reading, or even the casual scanning, of sets of collected papers is more likely to enrich our current work than any feverish leafing through the latest periodicals, or any breathless running around from one conference to another. The masters had more varied ideas than are remem- bered in later accounts of their work.
...
Whatever libraries do in their disheveled rush to cut costs, they should stock these and all other sets of collected papers. A university library is a symbol of permanence, and there is no clearer such symbol than a monument of the past that, far from being dead, is what keeps us alive and hoping.

PS. Есть ещё одна цитируемая статья о важности собраний сочинений: S. D. Chatterji “On the publication of collected or selected works” (Jahrbuch Uberblicke Mathematik, 1985, pp.183-195)."

Но мне её не получается найти.
