Please do.
If there are any questions you can email them. They understand that many books do not contain barcodes or isbns. I have an elderly friend who was a slavic anthropologist. We've been in contact with them for months and have sent off something like 20 boxes of mid-century cultural academic literature focusing on hungary and other regions (I'm no expert there ... sorry if I got some term wrong).
As far as what to donate that you probably have? Magazines. 2600, Usenix journal, make, wired, datamation, byte, creative computing, etc. You'd be surprised how many holes they have. You'll see like 18 complete months then a 10 month hole, then like 7 more complete months, etc ... it's far from done.
It's valuable. For instance, the high flying pollyana nonsense of 90s wired magazines is probably embarrassing to read now but it's also a very important cultural context for historians and academics - imagine a 25 year old phd student of say, science&technology studies, trying to get a grasp on ~1998 silicon valley culture. I was there, they weren't - these old rags are important to preserve.
