Agreed, great question - something I've had to work through as well. My process is pretty similar to Jenna's, the only major difference is that I don't duplicate files for groups/pairs since it requires so much more storage for duplicates - I just have a folder
with "groups/pairs" divided out by decade (as able to determine) and each individual labeled in the file name (again, as able - sometimes I'll use X as a space holder). I also use Google Drive (not Google Photos) for cloud storage, and have hard drive storage
as well. Google Drive makes sharing very easy, since others can be given access to search by name for individuals. </div>

I am in the process of also now backing up to an Amazon Prime account - I discovered that they have unlimited photo storage if you have a Prime account (I don't, but mom does and doubt she'll ever get rid of it unless they go under haha), and my understanding
is that even if you decide not to continue/pause your subscription, the items remain stored, you just can't do much with them until your prime membership is active again. This is a secondary cloud backup, and the Google Drive is still my primary, but seemed
like a good idea to have one more out there (sort of a modified 3-2-1 rule) in case I got locked out of my drive or something... </div>

<div dir="ltr">This is a great question, and I am curious to hear with other librarians have to say. Personally, I archive family photos and videos into folders by name of individual (I duplicate the files into multiple folders if more than one person is depicted
in them), and title the files with date and content information in a standardized format using machine and human readable best practices to sort them (e.g. in the folder titled "Jenna Nolt" you might find a file called "1985_01_09_FirstSnowDay"). I work with
the files in Google Drive (not Google Photos, I find it easier to organize and share in Drive, but that is a personal preference), then back them up to an external solid state drive (e.g.
<a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-t5-1tb-external-usb-type-c-portable-solid-state-drive-deep-black/6026202.p?skuId=6026202">
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-t5-1tb-external-usb-type-c-portable-solid-state-drive-deep-black/6026202.p?skuId=6026202</a>). I consider the external solid state drive to be the "archival" storage, and use Google Drive for sharing with family and friends.
This is a pretty labor intensive process, but the best one for surviving tech changes that I've found over the past ten years.

Hi, Janet!<br>
<br>
I’m not sure whether this is a question you can answer directly, or maybe just a presentation idea for the group.<br>
<br>
The Information Age has afforded even us consumers the ability to collect thousands of digital media files – so much that, like libraries, it’s a challenge to retrieve what we need. For example: searching, between his death and his wake, for all the photos
and videos of grandpa.<br>
<br>
Are you aware of any durable standards, tools, or tips for consumers to organize and index digital images and videos, such as home movies, especially after they have been digitized?<br>
<br>
By “durable,” I mean that they are still likely to be efficiently searchable, in 10 or even 20 years, After cloud websites have either closed or started charging a lot, and after technology and standards have evolved.
<br>
<br>
I wouldn’t mind driving down to Central Ohio to ask your members in person, but thought it would be wise to ask first whether I’m “barking up the right tree.”<br>
<br>
Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving!<br>
