A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Whatever way you go, back it up. I use Lightroom Classic to organize everything by date and process images. I use an internal drive for working on, a NAS for a second on-site backup and a few Pixel XLs to upload everything to Google Photos in original quality without paying for cloud storage. For digitizing you'll need a ton of patience and some hardware depending on what you're planning on capturing.
Booooo. Lightroom only makes virtual copies and is NOT intended for DAMS
Yeah, non-destructive editing of your archive is the way to go. You can pull from various media and network sources to import your photos/video and it organizes them into whatever folder structure you've chosen. The whole point of archiving is to preserve and organize your image collection so you can find your stuff when you need it. The virtual copies with edits can easily be exported in whatever formats or dimensions you want.
