How do you store your photos?

[busymum]

Photo box for the pictures i'm not going to use and CDs for my digital pictures.

I use 3-up photo albums for the photos I'm not using.

The photos I have from before I went digital are in photo boxes, labeled by year and then labeled inside by date, where the photos were taken and any special ocassions. Since I have a digital camera now, I keep about 2-3 months worth on the computer then save it to a CD then after I have about a year's worth on a CD, I put them on a DVD since a DVD is more stable and longer lasting.

Digital not printed are in folders on my computer, photos that have been printed are still in the envelopes waiting to be scrapped. I am pathetic I know! LOL

Patty, I've heard so many horror stories of people leaving all their digital prints in their computer and then their computer crashing and losing it all. I have my dh keep a copy of our photos at his office too in case of a fire at our house. I would still lose my printed photos from way back before I had a digital camera though. I don't know what is the best thing to do about storing them as far as keeping them safe. Should I keep the negatives at another location? I got my digital camera three years ago so I would lose photos of my kids when they were born and all those "firsts." That would be sad. Let's hope my house doesn't catch fire, of course, but I suppose we should still plan for things like that.

I have mine on CD and in a box. Leslie, I've heard that some people will make CDs of their photos and place them in their safety deposit box or a fire proof safe in their home.
