Technology evolves too rapidly to leave the recovery work to the next generation. I would hate to have the Greek years of the '00s and '10s become lost because nobody thought to print out their photographs and put them in an album.
The GREAT thing about digital photography, unlike film, is that you can pick and choose which photos you want prints of. if you took 60 pics (the magic facebook number) and only ten are album-worthy, then you only pay to print 10.
(And for those of you with high quality color printers, great! But I still recommend sending them off to be printed professionally.)
That's my morning rant, I hope it wasn't previously discussed.

Do not mind the rant at all!
I finally sat down and wrote a History of the local I started as needless to say I know the most about!
I then sent it out and got a ton of emails back from the Brothers thanking me for this as they knew bits and peices but not all. While I was amazed by this, it hit me, they did not really know.
So, this is something that needs to be addressed before History is so clouded and lost.
When should one start, well, now would be a great time.
We also have a Brother of the Chapter who is taking his time to scan all of the pictures we have and after 43 years, it is a bunch and a huge job.
Time waits for no one.
