ABOUT THE TALK:

Most all of us have boxes of VHS tapes, slides, DVDs, or photo albums tucked away, but the reality is those formats don’t last forever. In this talk, I’ll share some of what I’ve learned through my work at Treasured Media about keeping family memories safe and accessible, plus some actionable tips on media usage in this modern age.

The talk will include:

• The lifespan and risks of older media formats (VHS, DVDs, film, slides, etc.)

• Best practices for storing and protecting family media collections

• Options and methods of media digitization
