Digital Image Conservation and Preservation

"The best way to preserve your digital images is to print them with archival inks on archival paper and put them in a dark place." That's what Owen Ransen of Ransen Software says in his article on Digital Image Conservation and Preservation. I can't say I entirely agree, but he does make some good points about the longevity of digital media. That's why I advocate making multiple copies of your photo backups and revisiting them at least once a year to verify readability and compatibility. If you do prefer to print your photos, his article offers some practical tips on preserving your prints.
