“…Museums have a large number of materials that require preservation from future degradations for a long period as long as possible. On the other hand, it is common, and important to use these materials for a variety of purposes [64,84], i.e., exhibitions, investigations, researches, education, and so on.…”

“…While the photographic printing industry is certainly aware of this concern, the general public is not. Earlier papers by this author on the subject of long-term preservation [1,2] have dealt with digital photographic images and the use of film as a technology-independent storage medium while a more recent paper [3] focused on documents of all kinds, including digital files of letters, emails, as well as photographs. The focus of this paper is long-term preservation of the "best of the best" of consumers' photo images through hard copy output products from the photo fulfillment industry.…”

Consumers today love the immediacy, ease of storage and ease of sharing of digital images. Storage of images "in the cloud" allows for anywhere/anytime access. Storage of images on their smartphone has similar benefits. Although slightly different in degree, both of these storage modalities also have risk of image loss due to long-term technology changes. In general, consumers are totally unaware of this risk, which could potentially leave a whole generation of picture takers, including Moms who are typically the "chief family photo officer", without a long-term record of their lifetime events. This paper will provide a brief overview of the history and concerns of technology obsolescence as it relates to the long-term preservation of consumers' digital image files and show how promotion of hard copy printing provides a simple and cost effective means to the consumer for secure, technology-proof preservation of their precious memories.

Upon discovering the 120 year old object in their grandparents' attic, most people today would be hard-pressed to play back a recording made on a wax cylinder of the late 1800s. What will people do just 50 years from now with an optical disk or magnetic hard drive? Over time, we have recorded our memories in many ways: letters, post cards, photographs, movies, audio and video recordings are a few examples. In earlier days, interpreting those recordings was independent of the technology used to create them -you could hold and view a hard copy document in your hand. How will future generations deal with those post cards, letters to the family, and photographs that have now been replaced by "Word documents", email, and digital images on the computer? While professional and mass-portrait labs recognize the importance of hard copy images, the word needs to spread from there. The end consumer in particular needs to become aware of long-term storage issues that relate to the preservation of the data behind digital documents including photographic images. Longerterm issues beyond routine backup and migration of data need to be considered, and preservation via human-readable hardcopy images is a key option. This paper provides an update on preservation strategies for the consumer and suggestions for the professional imaging laboratories to communicate these strategies to the consumer. While the familiar advice to "make a hard copy" provides a solid foundation, we go beyond this recommendation, with the intent to raise consumer awareness of the need to create a long-term preservation plan for their most treasured images and the data behind them.
