As well as storing photos online I print them all. I like looking through my albums and showing them to friends.
Any really precious photos are kept in a fire proof metal box.
I have a lot of creative pieces and essays . All stored on my computer. But I have printed copies of them all.
Printed photos are wonderful for people who develop dementia. It is so much easier for them to access precious memories through old fashioned printed copies.
When the technology all crashes. at once I will still be able to lift down my albums and sit happily browsing with one on my lap.
IVe kept all my books too. Including reference ones against the day when it won’ t be possible to search on line.

Because of a fire in our home I lost all of my traditonal back up external hard drives, USB, DVD’s, etc That was all prior to the cloud. I hadn’t printed many so I have very few pictures that remained. Now because I haven’t ordered in a while they archived my photos…..so unhappy
