Let's Talk About the Integrity of Digital Storage

We are all creating more and more digital content everyday. It’s become so easy to capture photos & videos of special moments that it’s difficult to keep track of them. What to do?!? Let's talk about the integrity of digital storage. What are the security, privacy, and  accessibility concerns you must consider? Robert Friedman, PhD, executive director of the Permanent Legacy Foundation will facilitate this interactive conversation. 

If you’re not already a prominent historical figure, it’s unlikely your descendants will ever find your stuff archived at the Library of Congress or displayed at the Smithsonian. As our society continues its steady march from film photography and physical documentation to digital files, and puts the power to capture history into everyone’s hands, we need secure solutions that can preserve the digital legacy of anyone. We need solutions that also protect people’s rights to their personal data and don’t sell their legacy for profit. Permanent.org is backed by the Permanent Legacy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization  founded by prolific tech entrepreneur Dean Drako with a mission to provide secure and lasting data storage for all people. With our endowment model, our data migration process - file format conversion - and our multiple redundant backups - including a partnership with the University of Southern California’s Shoah Foundation archivists - we are ready to preserve all personal data entrusted to our system, forever. 

September is Save Your Photos Month. This special event is jointly organized by the Permanent Legacy Foundation and Holland Photo Imaging.
