Faced with the rapid growth of digitizing trillions of analog photos, the Photo Preservation Center (PPC) has been established by ScanMyPhotos.com as the principal resource for information on scanning and preserving generations of analog photo memories.
The official website for the Photo Preservation Center is www.PhotoPreservation.org
Mission Statement: PPC mission is to promote and foster the dissemination of information and host an international resource center for discussing all issues pertaining to the preservation of pictures. PPC is designed to facilitate the transfer of information and enhance awareness for the growing demand for converting analogy pictures into digital images and promote all the new products available for consumers to view, save and share their photo memories.
Background: PPC was established to further commercialize and support the experiences and passions from leaders in the digital imaging industry in order to provide inspiration and tips on how to preserve photo memories and be the primary resource for the preservation of photographs.
