How do you keep old pictures?

Maggie you are right about what family will want. My late Dad had loads he had taken of just scenery and we had no idea where most of them were, so they just went. And I have started to do the same with ours - especially as like you mention - there will be 20 of the same thing "in case" one didnt come out (not something we have to worry about with digital cameras when we can check immediately).

I have mine in albums, in boxes, in a hard drive, pretty much all over. I did give my kids all their baby photos and growing up photos.

I have years of photos in boxes, one for each decade until the 1990's, and then this millennium's versions on the computer, in some magic cloud. My sister in law is turning 70, my Aunt will be 100, and as we can't get out to buy cards, I thought of making a 'Moonpig' one. Have lost a few afternoons sifting through the lovely memories. Great posts Everyone.

I have really enjoyed this thread! Interesting and informative. Junk Journaling was something I had never heard of before but I am going to try it....and 45 prints a month free...wow!

Thank you all.

I’ve spent most of the morning labelling my online photos, I don’t know what’s happening but they seem to be copying themselves over and over again, all with different numbers after them and all in different files !
It’s driven me mad so I’ve just walked away, if they were all in one place I could delete them...why have I got 10 copies of part of the Vatican City? And why are some of the copies in Christmas 2016 file? We didn’t go until 2018.
I’ll leave it until I have a spare couple of years.

When we moved onto the boat I gave my daughter my ‘memory box’. Just an old she box full of photos of me, my sisters, parents, cousins, my own children, family pets etc. She looked puzzled and said “what do I want these for?” Just not as sentimental as me, obviously. Sigh ?

Shoe box!

The most important ones are in frames around the house. Sadly the rest are in boxes in storage.

This has prompted me to think about sorting out the photos i have. At the moment they are in a large box. The perfect job for a wet day i am thinking.
