A common (and disasterous) myth

about digital photos . . .

"I've scanned all my photos and now I'm done."

The truth is that digital files can become unstable and digital media was never meant to last forever — which means that your digital photos are at risk.

Digital photo files require time and commitment if they are going to last more than three to five years.

Good news!

There are steps you can take to maintain your digital images.

And I can show you how!

Imagine . . .

There were steps you could take to make sure that your digital photos survived into the future.

You can share the photos you scanned because you can still access them.

Your children and grandchildren (and beyond) can view the photos that you so lovingly scanned.

You can feel good knowing that you are giving your digital pictures the best chance for long term survival.

All of that is possible inside

Digital Photo Storage

This course is perfect for . . .

Genealogists

You've researched your family history and have scanned the old photographs that you collected along the way.

I'll explain the steps to maintaining your digital photos so they can be a wonderful enhancement to your research.

The Accidental Family

Archivist

You've scanned the legacy photographs that were dropped into your lap, typically due to home downsizing or passing of an older relative.

I'll tell you what you can do to maintain the digital photos until it's time for you to drop them into someone else's lap.

Personal Legacy Holder

You have digital photographs of your own that you want to pass down.

I'll tell you what to do to keep them accessible so you can pass them down to your children and beyond.

Hi, I'm Pam

I'm an archivist and the creator of Keeping the Past. I work with anyone with old photos and documents from past generations to help them create their own family archive so that their collection becomes a timeless gift to themselves and future generations.

My sweet spot is the space where archiving and family history overlap — family archiving!

The National Archives is my Disneyworld! And, yes, the Family History Library in Salt Lake City is my Disneyland!

But perhaps more relevant to you, I use my archiving expertise to help make family archiving simple.

With my family history expertise I guide people in how to connect their family archive to their family's history.

My hope is that, by connecting the two, both the family archive and the family's history will be passed down for generations.

Why I created this:

Digital photo files are at risk on many fronts — issues with physical storage media, file format, and "the cloud".

I want you to know how to care for your digital photo files so that they don't become inaccessible — because if they do, your scanning project becomes a waste of time and effort.

I firmly believe that you spent the time scanning your old photos because you want the digital versions to be around to view and share for the long term.

What is Family Archiving?

Think about your oldest family photo. Is it a picture of your grandparents? Great-grandparents? Older than that?

That photo only exists because someone thought it was important enough to keep. The moment captured in the picture has passed & the person may be gone. If you don't care for the photograph, future generations will never be able to "see" that person — to know what they look like — to feel that connection.

Family archiving is about caring for photos and documents from past generations so that people in the future can be connected to people in the past.

The course sounds like it might be a lot of work. Do I have time for this?

You can do this mini course entirely at your own pace. As crazy as it sounds, I KNOW there is someone in the future who will want to see and share the photographs that you have today. They will thank you for making time!

What if I decide the course isn't for me after I purchase it?

I offer a 14-day Money Back Guarantee. If you decide the course isn't for you, just contact me with a brief explanation of why you think that is the case for a full refund.

How long do I have access to the course?

You have access to the course for as long as I continue to offer the course. You'll also get free access to any updates to the content that I make along the way!

What if I'm not a tech whiz?

I provide Bonus Tech Tutorials to help out with the technology stuff. The good news is — once you learn the steps much of a photo labeling project is lather-rinse-repeat.

My Risk-Free 14-Day Guarantee

I don't want you to have buyer's remorse.
