Digitizing your photos is not only a great way, it is really THE best way to protect them.  Digital Cameras gives us both quality and the option of whether or not to print. But, since we take more and more photos, it becomes very difficult for us to store. Most of us store our digital pictures on our computer, but if it crashes .. oops .. everything is lost!
