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.

I work with an archive that is building a photographic reference library making hundreds of thousands of images available for historic references and research etc. At a minimum it would fulfill a fully credited legacy of preservation for your photo collection. Feel free to reach out and we can speak a bit more in detail about what we’re up to. Thanks.
I would definitely suggest to OP, before getting rid of them, digitize them for sure. Send them to an archive, archival device, or do your best with a camera or your phone. No matter what happens to the physical versions after that, you don’t have to feel (so) guilty about not hanging onto everything. I hang on to way too much stuff to be sure but it can be a huge mental burden if you let it be.
