Why Archive Structure Matters Over Time?

Large photo archives naturally evolve over time. New devices, backups, imports, exports, and library migrations gradually add complexity to collections that may span many years.

Media normalization helps maintain a consistent archive structure by organizing files using metadata, capture time, and location information before they enter catalog systems or long-term storage.

The result is an archive that remains easier to understand, search, maintain, and preserve over time.
