So I  take digital images to use, and black/white for the 
record.  I may  just have the black/white film developed and not bother 
trying to print  them any more.  That way, the state can still archive 
the  negatives.



My experience with digital prints, even on archival paper, is they fade.  The 
Fort Guijarros Museum Foundation organized a World War II history event in  
1999 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of U.S. Army Fort Rosecrans. All the  
digital prints were mounted on foam board and stored in a room with UV 
filters  on the floursecent lighting, but the prints faded to an orange-red color or 
 totally vanished. I remain a firm believer in printing with the old 
chemicals on  acid-free paper and storing them in a dark, cool, room.
