As an illustration of the value of historical measures we present some examples of the dynamical evolution of multiple systems resembling the Orion Trapezium. We constructed models by combining carefully selected historical measures of the separations among components of young massive stellar systems with modern observations. By computing large numbers of fictitious systems resembling real trapezia we were able to simulate the dynamical evolution of such systems. Our results on the dynamical fate of the Orion Trapezium and of ten additional young clusters resembling the Orion Trapezium show extremely short dynamical lifetimes for these systems.
