In 1986 and 1987 I served on the history committee for my hometown centennial celebration.

Prior to that, during, and since I am a strong believer in film, negatives, and photo paper prints.

While serving on the aforementioned committee I had the pleasure of copying old photographs by copying them with a 35mm camera with a special copying lens onto a fine grained film.

One particular image showed the first boys of the town shipping off for duty in WWI. In the background about 300 feet from the principal subject was a rail car on a siding. The photo was so sharp and clear and fine grained that with magnification one could even read the writing on the box car.

My point is if you want snapshots that might last 20 years then by all means use digital media and burn them to disc.

If you want photographs which are different than snapshots then use a camera and high quality film. Just as Matthew Brady's work of the Civil War is still around you can expect your work to still be around in 100 years.

We've seen computers go from punch cards to tape to 5.25" floppies to 3.5" floppies, to CDs to DVDs, with some flash drives, etc. thrown in for even more media confusion. Along similar lines we've had Blue Ray and ???

I am not willing to bet that DVD readers will even be around in 20 years in order to recover stored digital images. Digital is fine, but consider them temporary.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
