I inherited a ton of old black and white photos, of which I have scanned and sent some to people I recognize. Nobody wanted the physical copies.
I feel bad throwing them all out. But they are taking up space. Any suggestions on what to do with them? Art projects? Donations?
scan and archive. Never throw it away unless you really need to do it
Yeah, having the physical medium gives you a more trustworthy backup. Instead of all your hard drives getting wiped by the solar flare, you have multiple different mediums with strengths and weaknesses. I’m also inclined to hold onto physical copies.
