Paderborn (dpa/lnw) – After the devastating tornado of May 20, citizens of Paderborn can store their private digital videos and photos in the district and city archives and thus keep them safe for themselves and posterity. The event will “enter the collective memory of the city,” said the city of Paderborn – and is therefore offering a special service.
A number of Paderborn residents took photos and films “of the damage to their house and apartment, of the clean-up work” or the “repair work over the coming weeks and months”. Most of these recordings are made with a smartphone and are at risk of being lost with the new cell phone at the latest, the city wrote on its website: “So that the visual impressions of the Paderborn tornado do not also fall prey to digital Alzheimer’s, the city and district archives offer all Adopting photos, evaluating them and ensuring an informed choice for future generations.”
