Old seeds

Hello everyone, As I mentioned recently I'm new to gardening and when my
sister-in-law heard that I was going to be making an honest effort at it
this year she sent me a huge box of assorted garden seeds.  Seems that she
has inherited these from deceased relatives.  I opened up this box yesterday
and what a surprise I found.  There are hundreds of packages of seeds of all
types, flowers and veggies.  The only thing is some have dates as far back
as 1962, what a hoot to see the price per packet of 10 cents.  I wonder if
any will germinate.  Does anyone know anything about old seeds.  I thought I
might try to germinate some in damp tissues first.  Any suggestions?
