Dear Nahzi,
The condition is called "Compulsive Hoarding" which is a pattern of behavior characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects. It can be treated by Therapeutic Interventions.
Welcome Aboard!

I don't think this can be called a disease or psychological disorder for that matter.
There is nothing wrong with keeping letters and pictures of loved ones around. I did it myself for the 30 years that i spent in the state and i have even had arguments with mom over it : Why don't you get rid of these letters... what purpose would they serve and things of that nature.
Aside from the definition of CH here, If one collects really and truly valuable things, and takes goood care of them, not only one has not hoarded anything but that is one huge step in preserving some precious memories.
Thank you both for your comments. I am humbled by the fact that my short entry has attracted your interest to take the time to leave these messages for me.
What this behavior is called does not concern me per se. I truly enjoy the opportunity to glance at them for about a year instead of just once.
