Our club has been involved in three large and a number of smaller community projects in and around Albany and it has become apparent that we are recording and collecting a substantial volume of what may become fairly historically significant images given time.
Our club began life two and a half years ago as a film group and we were very concerned that digital storage is not particularly reliable when considering the long term.

Our club is about to offer hundreds of black and white negatives to the Albany Public History Library collection in the hope that these will be safely stored and made available.
The question now is..... what do we do with the thousands of digital still and video images that we currently have on our relatively unsafe hard drives?
There is cloud storage, archival quality printing and multiple backups systems but we would like somehow to make sure that these images are still available in some form well into the future.
Now that we have all these potentially important images what do we do to ensure they remain safe and secure for future generations?
