Hi.
<BR>
<P>Yes, it is the here today gone tomorrow fear with digital stuff that I'm most
<BR>
worried about. I can rephotograph the stuff on conventional film and keep it
<BR>
alive that way. I suppose that the muliple copies idea is the only way of doing
<BR>
it safely. It was only recently that I thought about the long term issues of
<BR>
digital archiving and its problems. I have around a hundred 10 x 8 inch sepia
<BR>
copies from the first half of last century and they are very delicate. Sane
<BR>
does really well in copying the sepia tone as a colour scan so I'm initially
<BR>
going to scan them that way. Has anyone tackled a similar project?
<BR>
<P>Thanks and I hope that this is not too much off topic, Steve.

<EM>&gt; Well, CDs are probably better then 2 years if carefully stored, but even
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; still that leave you with either regular migration every couple years or
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; face lost pictures. With digital it is often the case that there is no
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; loss then suddenly nothing, where as with normal pictures loss is slow.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Black and white pictures on archival paper will lastt 500 years or
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; more. color should never be considered more then 20 years.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Digital media has not proven itself to last long, and it faces the danger
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; of unrecoverable loss without notice. If you want to go to digital, make
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; several copies, and store them in different places, and keep your copies
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; fresh.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; For color prints much the same thing, though you can wait a little
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; longer. Get quality prints, not nessicarly something a drug store can
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; provide. Note that a printout is not the same as a photo, many printers
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; give more then a few years before the ink fades.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; If you don't mind black and white, then archival paper needs only a little
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; protection. (Face it, you care about your grandpa, but not your great 6
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; times grandpa, so you don't even need the best protection) Just keep the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; prints from flood, fire, chemicals (A few older photo albums), and light
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (except when viewing) and you should have a photo for life. I'd make
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; extra copies while I'm at it, but there is no need for re-coping.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; If I were a betting man I'd put money on you wanting to preserve color
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; photographs in color. In that case there is no solution that we trust to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; last. At least not without budgets like Bill Gates.

<EM>&gt; &gt; Hi everyone.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I want to scan some old family photos before they disintegrate completely. I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; read somewhere that recordable cd's only have a life of around 2 years. Does
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; anyone have any advice on keeping permanent photo archives?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Thanks, Steve.
