What are you doing with your valuable photos and documents?
Not only paper photos, but slides and digital photos, too?
Digital
Docs.
Your family records are priceless because they bridge the gap between generations
Where are these irreplaceable materials being stored?
Wherever they are, your paper photos and documents are deteriorating.
Your digital photos and documents are especially vulnerable.
Every hard drive will eventually fail. It is inevitable.
The average annual replacement rate (ARR) of a hard drive is three years.
Hard drives are just as likely to lose all your data in the 1st year as in the 7th year.
Actual failure rates on average are 15 X higher than advertised claims.

Unless your content is saved in other ways, you will eventually lose it
Accidents, deterioration and decay are inevitable for paper, magnetic and optical media.
It is not a matter of IF, but WHEN.
Can you imagine the pain if your records are lost for future generations?
