Mark Schulman did a great presentation on How to Preserve Digital Photos at the Main CFCS Meeting. However, there is a problem with the link to his presentation notes. I have corrected the link. Use the following directions to get to the PDF.

Go to http://schulman.homedns.org/mark.nsf/pages/home?OpenDocument

Then click on Presentations

Then click Presentation Notes in the line that says: Here are the presentation notes: Presentation Notes

The PDF is listed as an attachment below for your convenience.
