I’m the “historian” of the family. I capture vacations, edit recap videos, and have online and offline back ups of it all. Soon I’ll begin digitizing our old scrap books so they too can be persevered. As of now I have a meaningful photo collection that goes back to 2002. Apple Photo does a nice job showing these to me in memories.
I had saved dozens of voicemails from my family as to persevere their voices, knowing one day I’d never hear them again. Sadly, I didn’t save them locally and so they are now gone.
Emails I can still get to, archived in the gmail account I continue to use today. But one day, that account may go the way of Thisbe voicemails. It “feels” preserved but I have no true backup. And unlike a letter that you read and think “yep, this will be meaningful to me one day” so you save it, I’ve never actively saved a special email.
Ditto to digital plane and concert tickets.
I’d be curious what people here on HN do for digital scrapbooking. I’m sure there is a better way.
