ALCTS webinar: Preserving Your Personal Digital Photographs
Date: April 26, 2012
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Digital photos are fragile and require special care to keep
them accessible. But preserving any kind of digital information is a new
concept that most people have little experience with. Technologies
change over time and become obsolete, making it difficult to access
older digital photos. And since digital photography results in immediate
personal memories, we take and collect an enormous amount of photos. But
as our personal collections grow, it becomes more and more difficult to
save those photos and to find specific photos. If your digital photos
are difficult for you to manage, how will your loved ones be able to
make sense of them in the future? Learn about the nature of the problem
and hear about some simple, practical tips and tools to help you keep
your digital photos safe.
Learning Outcomes:
1. the nature of the problem
2. simple practical tips to describe and save digital photos
3. tools that can be used
Audience: Anyone with an interest in preserving personal digital photos
and other digital information.
Presenter: Bill LeFurgy, Digital Initiatives Manager, has worked for the
National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program at
the Library of Congress since June 2002. He leads the NDIIPP
Communications Team, which interacts with a broad range of people
interested in preserving access to digital information. In former lives,
LeFurgy dealt with electronic records at the National Archives and
Records Administration and served as Baltimore City Archivist and
Records Management Officer. While he has memories of punch cards,
monochrome monitors, and 30-pound portable computers, he is also an
enthusiastic creator and consumer of social media. He has a BA degree in
History from McGill University, as well as an MLS and MA in History from
the University of Maryland.
