Photo Preservation Tips

Two-Step Preparation

Step 1:  Organize Your Photos

Step 2:  Merge, Save, Backup

This sounds easy, right?  Well it can be overwhelming if you have thousands of photos that are printed, on your computer, home movies, or on your smart phone.  Just how do you organize all those places?  A professional organizer can help you get started with this, because you just need a few pointers to start the process.

• Start sorting one box at a time ( don't take on every box at one time, you will soon get bored or frustrated)
•  Put those photos in some sort of order
• chronological
• events
• person
• Put everything in one place so you know where to find it the next time you work on the project.
