Checklist: Where to find digital photos

How many of these host your digital photos?
If you’d like help, we offer two options.
- Course: Gathering Digital Photos and Videos – Gathering digital photos and videos can be complicated and is challenging because people have so many files in so many places. Adam’s written a course to help. You can try the first three lessons for free to see if it’s right for you.
- At Chaos to Memories, we offer Digital Organizational services. Phase 1 involves gathering, deduplicating, and sorting everything chronologically. Phase 2 of digital organizing includes curation, keywording, and tagging. Adding metadata makes your photo archive searchable.
