Who We Are

Photo Memory Hub is an editorial team dedicated to providing practical, unbiased guidance on photography and photo preservation. Our goal is to help readers make informed decisions and get the best results for their needs.

Our Editorial Process

All articles on Photo Memory Hub follow a rigorous 6-step editorial process:

1. Research Phase

We gather information from:

  • Library of Congress preservation guidelines
  • Smithsonian Institution photo care resources
  • American Institute for Conservation
  • Camera and scanner manufacturer documentation
  • Professional photo editing software guides
  • Real user experiences and reviews
  • Expert publications and professional resources

2. Content Development (AI-Assisted)

We use Google Gemini (artificial intelligence) to help generate initial drafts, structure content logically, and ensure comprehensive coverage of topics. AI is a tool that helps us create more content efficiently. It does NOT replace human editorial oversight.

3. Fact Verification

Our editorial team reviews all AI-generated content for accuracy by:

  • Verifying information against official sources
  • Confirming current accuracy of recommendations
  • Testing claims about products and techniques
  • Removing any unsupported or outdated claims

4. Plain Language Review

We ensure content is accessible to readers of all experience levels by:

  • Explaining technical terms when necessary
  • Using clear, practical descriptions
  • Including step-by-step guidance and real-world applications

5. Source Citation

We provide transparent sourcing by:

  • Linking to official manufacturer pages when applicable
  • Citing expert reviews and research
  • Referencing professional recommendations and standards

6. Regular Review & Updates

Technology and best practices evolve—new products release, techniques improve, and better options become available. We:

  • Schedule regular reviews of high-traffic articles
  • Update content when information changes significantly
  • Revise based on reader feedback and corrections

Use of Artificial Intelligence

All articles on Photo Memory Hub are created with assistance from Google Gemini, an artificial intelligence language model.

This means:

  • AI helps us research, organize, and draft content
  • Every article is reviewed and fact-checked by human editors
