Books/ scrolls / writings! Many books in that age are relics by virtue of books not being common. Some collections, eg the Gondor library, are incredibly old and rare. The Book of Mazarbul and the Red Book may yet become old relics, but at the end of LOTR they are relics telling stories of modern heroes.
