Regardless of event—whether vacations, weddings, birthdays, concerts etc.– photos and slides commonly play an important role in preserving our most cherished memories. These old images are treasure troves of the past and it is our job to preserve them because once they are gone, they are gone forever. Contrary to popular belief, even images stored in ideal storage conditions will not last forever. Over time, colors and materials inevitably decay and corrode and these witnesses of times-passed disintegrate and disappear.
