My fiber-based prints, properly fixed, washed and toned, are likely to survive for 150+ years.

Famous last words :-)

But seriously, how many photos does anyone bother to preserve on archival quality materials? I've lost family photos due to fading, floods, and simply losing them. I've digitized most of the remainder, in order to preserve them.

For me? All of them that matter. I mostly print on gelatin silver paper in a darkroom, and I don't use digital inkjet paper that contains OBAs.

I have digital copies, of course, too, and those are stored on my iMac, in a backup hard drive, in Backblaze, and on S3.
