Preserving Your Photo Memories

About this event

An educational event focused on techniques and best practices for preserving physical and digital photo memories.

What to Expect

  • 1.You'll leave with a simple, repeatable three-step workflow for preserving both physical and digital photos: sort and date your collection, digitize important prints, and store backups in multiple places.
  • 2.There will be a quick hands-on demo of scanning settings and file formats, so you know when to use TIFF versus high-quality JPEG and how to keep color accurate.
  • 3.Learn a practical naming convention and metadata basics so you can actually search your archives years from now.
  • 4.The talk covers safe storage for prints (acid-free sleeves, boxes) and the tradeoffs between cloud backups and external drives, using a simple 3-2-1 rule.
  • 5.For physical photos, you’ll get hands-on tips on handling to avoid creases and sun damage and ideas for organizing into themed albums or digital folders.
