How do you keep old pictures?

Loads of them from years ago in albums and old shoe boxes. And loads stored on my phone and laptop.

Dealing with my photos, both actual and digital, is on my list of my lockdown tasks. Needless to say I haven’t started yet, I am daunted by the task.

I scanned every single photo I possess and put them onto a CD for each of my DDs for them to keep some years ago, I rarely get actual photos any more , some are printed off, but all are on my PC, external Hard Drives and all are on one cloud or another.
For DHs birthday DD1 sent an external hard drive with hundreds of videos and photos of the GCs from when they were born to the present day, we are still looking through them, it’s lovely to see their first ballet class and school nativity plays when they were little. Quite emotional though as Some family members are on there that are no longer with us.

I understand you, so I keep my photos both digitally and in the photo books. The biggest pro of keeping you photos in digital is that you can get rid of all the scratches and stains. I'm not a great fan of recoloring pictures, as I believe that black and white photos have their own magic, but I spend some time with Photoglory (it's a really good program for restoring old photos) while making some of the oldest pictures look better. I'd never want to make them colorful, tho.

I have all my recent pictures on the ICloud but the old ones are still in albums. I have many!

I wish I was so organise cornergran! I have a lot on my iMac in albums but am at a loss what to do with all the albums that are not digitised - far too many to scan. I also have copies on my iPad but they are not synced as it's all changed over the years and I'm worried they'll disappear if I try. I have copies on external hard drives, copies on flash drives and more copies on another pc. I thought once I'd retired I'd get round to sorting it out but it's too big a task I fear

Both here too. The iMac, suitably backed up, stores the more recent photos, older ones are on a separate hard drive. Photo albums are comprehensive! I love them, often have a browse. All photos in the albums are described with place and date plus names of people. Major holidays have their own photo book. Our lot say I’m obsessive , maybe but it keeps me happy .

I do both I keep them on my iPad and for the special ones I use one of the 45 free prints a month apps and keep them in albums
Love my albums
