Feeling overwhelmed?

Me too! You have to wonder, where do all these photos go? How do we preserve and share them? In answer to these questions and many more, The Photo Managers Association designated September as Save Your Photos Month.

Established in 2014, this community-driven initiative was created to raise awareness about the importance of preserving personal photos and documents through workshops, events, and educational materials. In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of Save Your Photos Month, Gold Star Photo Solutions will be offering:

Exciting Community Events
The Launch of Our Newsletter highlighting exclusive offers, monthly tips, and exciting information about new products, services, and events as well as our FREE guide, “Tips for Preserving Family Movies.”
Weekly Legacy Blog Posts focused on preserving and sharing photo memories and the stories they tell.

Throughout the month of September, The Photo Managers Association will also be hosting FREE online events and educational classes designed to increase awareness of the importance of protecting one’s photos, videos, and treasured items against threats like extreme weather events and changing technology while taming the overwhelming volume of digital content we produce daily.
