Aavo Koort, the president of Channel City Camera Club sent a message to all members about the future of film-based photography. It is a very interesting article, pretty sad though. Please read on. Your feedback/input are welcome. Good God!!! Thanx for posting this!!!!

The job is just too demanding for someone that old...... |

Sealed containers containing adequately dried air before sealing, stored in a cool place is all that's neccessary to outlast current digital media. No electricity required. You don't even have to go that far to outlast current digital media. Archiving of any physical object is a challenge, as entropy is a constant. But, beyond the physical degradation that will affect digital media as well as film, you have many other factors. Obsolescence of the media, obsolescence of the media's format (8" floppies are less than 30 years old), and obsolescence of the data format also work against reliable archiving with digital media.

Obsolescence of the media, obsolescence of the media's format (8" floppies are less than 30 years old), and obsolescence of the data format also work against reliable archiving with digital media. Didn't we all think that digital images would be archival, when digital first came out? Kodak's website pointed out that their Photo CD's had an expected life of 100 years--and that one would be able to copy that CD in 100 years and have a clone that would last yet ANOTHER 100 years . . . ad infinitum. I have been reading that PhotoCd that Kodak developed has now been discontinued. The proprietary ImagePac format has fallen into disuse, in favor of TIF. It seems to be only a matter of time before editing software will no longer support reading ImagePac formatted files. THE longest-lasting archival system still appears to be good old Microfilm! Properly stored, it has a life in excess of 500 years. It requires nothing other than a light source and a magnifying lens to read it. Its contents will never become unreadable because of file format or media obsolescence. How ironic! |
