i have a set of clip art cds which is for windows 3.1 or windows 95 does that mean it won't work with windows xp

It depends on the file format. If they are .wmf files (windows metafile) or .emf (enhanced metafiles) then there will be no problem, likewise jpg or bmp files will be fine too.

You will probably have to insert them manually, rather than using the office clip art facility, this is because the way clip art works has changed in versions of Microsoft Office, e.g. in Office 2003, you only get basic clip art, and are directed to the website to search for more options.

If they are like my old set of clipart CDs (think it was Art Explosion 500,000), then there should be no problem whatsoever. In my case, they were all simply contained on the CDs as image files which you could copy to your computer as and when you needed them. I don't believe any changes to windows will have made any difference to the process of copying an image file from a CD.
