Storing (emotionally) valuable items

[Pennies]

Unable to sleep and have been backing up all DD's baby photos onto CD-Rom. The thing is I was wondering where to store the things now. I will have a copy here but also want to save another copy somewhere safe (should the house burn down or it get nicked or something equally optimistic!). Grandparents disorganised and unreliable, thereore likely to lose them.

Are there any places you can store such information (in Ye Olden Days I wold assume a bank would be the best option but this seems a tad OTT).

TIA

I email very important photos to myself. It means I have a lot in my inbox, but I have an email account with 1 GB of space. Full of baby photos but still only half full
otherwise - how about parents, godparents, trusted friends?

I think storing online possibly in 2 different locations is ideal for digital photos. You can get online albums so you don't have to store them in your e.mail space. You can buy fire proof safes from about £25 which would protect disks and documents.

I suppose it would make sense to scan in important documents and store on disks too, but i am not that orgainised.

You could do a few copies and distribute amoungst the family. You could do a family album disk and send out for christmas, then you will always have a few on the go. Ask other family members for prescious photos to scn or copy then it would benefit everyone to have a family archive.

i use snapfish/yahoo/msn to store pics online.
