I was just contacted by the Eastern Arizona Museum for my photos.
I will be packing them up soon and sending them to them. I have the digital scans for myself and any family interested. But the originals will now all be preserved in the Museum.
I have done the same with the AZ Historical Society and will be doing the same in Tucson for the relevant photos related there.

You are one of people I had in mind when I was saying that there are images that have an importance for the culture and history of the country as a whole and should be in the public domain for future consideration.

Answering the question really requires answering two different questions. How long will the storage medium last, and, for digital images, how long will the ability to decode what was stored exist, and at what cost. I suspect there is less certainty, and more risk involved in trying to answer the second.

Thx. And no high res camera or ultra sharp lens. Value is the subject.

and the way the photographer approaches the subject, creating feelings of trust and ‘goodwill’.

To an extent.
For the family photos hopefully your family have trust and goodwill towards you unless you are the black sheep of the family.

Don't want to start an argument, just an observation. I have 2 hobbies, photography and shooting. I've noticed atrend in both. Large format single exposure cameras, single shot firearms, get it right the first time,,,5,6 shot revolvers, 6,7 shot automatics, 12-36 exposure film cassettes, more tries to hit the mark without aiming, Glocks 15-30 round magazines, don't have to know how to shoot, throw enough lead down range you're bound to hit something, digital photography, take 1000 pics, no thought, no framing, just blast away, you're bound to get one good shot
