How long will CDs or DVDs last? Good brands of Cds and DVDs will last 15 to 20 years.
Cheap Cds will last 2 to 5 years.
Sharpie pens and sticky labels may contaminate Cds
and DVDs.
Use Solvent-Free pens to mark your Cds and DVDs,
yes we sell them.
What To Do? Organize your images on your computer. I have a folder with the
year 2008 and in that folder there are folders for each month.
In each month's folder there are Event folders.
(see image to the right)
Now your images organized, write them to a CD or DVD.
Also make one extra copy and double check that the images did copy
completely. Write the date you made this copy and store in a safe
place. Experts tell us that we should re-copy these disks every 2 to
5 years until the next storage device comes along that will replace CDs
and DVDs. It WILL happen.
Please make sure to print a hard copy of your favorite photos on real
photographic paper from a lab that knows what they are doing.
Oh, that would be us!
