Get yourself organized in the new year! Are you overwhelmed with all the digital files, prints, and negatives that you’ve accumulated over the years? Keeping your photographs properly organized and preserved is an important task, but it’s often neglected. In this four-session class, you’ll learn smart methods of how to organize and archive your work so that you feel confident that it’s safely stored and can be easily found when you need it. You'll learn best practices for managing your personal archive and how to properly name and organize digital files so that they are software-agnostic and future-proof. We'll also discuss what specific materials to use for storing and preserving both analog and digital prints; how to reproduce prints, negatives, and slides into digital files; and backup strategies for your digital archive.
