Are your memories going to last?

In this digital age, it’s easy to capture and store countless images on our computers, phones, tablets etc.   However, a growing collection of digital photos, scattered throughout our multiple devices, may seem overwhelming to organize.  What’s a memory keeper to do…? Make a plan! 


Wait…  why should I organize?, you might ask. After all, it’s time consuming and a lot of work. We take pictures to document our lives and to tell our stories. It’s a struggle to share those stories if they can’t be easily and quickly accessed and we want them to live forever.

 

 

“People are used to the idea of having old family pictures from 50 or 100 years ago or more. There will be VERY FEW surviving family pictures from this decade or 1990′s in the year 2100. Many more pictures will survive from 1920 than from 1980.” ~Christopher G. Mullin, Special Collections, Mansfield Library, The University of Montana

Wouldn’t it feel great knowing that our photos (our memories and stories) are safe and accessible?  Not only for ourselves, but for future generations?  Don't let your children grow up to be jpegs!!
