Who needs a copy?

Once your materials are digitized, making duplicate copies is quite easy and affordable. Before you embark on your project, consider who else would like a set of the files: parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, your children, etc. It’s far too complicated and risky to pass the same DVD or thumb drive around to family members.
