Digital Photo Preservation from LOC
Digital photographs are great! Using a point and shoot camera, or a fancy DSLR camera, allows you to take hundreds of pictures at a time - allowing you more opportunities to capture people and events, than with a traditional film camera.
Here are some tips from the Library of Congress for how to preserve the digital files of your photographs. Enjoy!
