Who will be collating the pictures then for your family history?<br /><br />You are right of course that these sites act as a backup in their own right but many people only keep a subset of their images in on-line albums. <br /><br />It is good you already have a local backup but if anyone loses their home copies through a technical or other catastrophic incident then a large percentage of the images may be gone for good if no off-site copy exists.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950923478526035792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275001083138088756.post-82074736389129475462011-05-15T15:41:00.820+01:002011-05-15T15:41:00.820+01:00I have a drawer at home full of photos and negativ...I have a drawer at home full of photos and negatives that I have had developed over the years and am often tempted to convert them all to digital and have the drawer space back! I have never been one for albums full of pics and so the move to digital was a welcomed one. I do print pictures but it will be one or two favourites for a frame, or an A4 collage of pics as a reminder of a holiday. <br /><br />As for backing things ups, I do back photos up to a storage disk and so I have copies. I think that posting them to websites and social sites is an even better back up as you have off-site storage too. If your house burns down at least records will still exist. Photo albums and negatives have no off-site back up. <br /><br />So maybe history is safer than it ever was...?Paula Whitehttp://www.whitesocialmedia.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
