When we hear "historical data", we tend to think, "not for marketing", and that's not necessarily wrong. You wouldn't run a campaign with it, you'll likely have a high bounce rate with a lot of complaints, and you run the risk of contacting people that have already unsubscribed.
What you can do with historical data is use it to make your marketing better. Historical data can help you understand what worked and didn't in past interactions.
Rick and Ed both make the important point that a well organized contact list means more useful data in the future. Laziness in list development won't do anything to help your business. As Ed says, "if not maintained appropriately, historical can mean dysfunctional".
