Abstract

Systems, methods, and media for providing a digital photo archive are provided. In some embodiments, systems for providing a digital photo archive are provided, the systems comprising: at least one hardware processor that: collects a plurality of photos from a plurality of sources; collects a plurality of pieces of information from the plurality of sources; determines whether one of the plurality of photos is presently stored in the archive; stores the one of the plurality of photos in the archive only if the one of the plurality of photos has been determined to not be presently stored in the archive; and indicates to a user that the one of the plurality of photos is a duplicate photo if it is determined that the one of the plurality of photos has been determined to be presently stored in the archive.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for archiving digital photos in a digital photo archive, comprising:
 at least one hardware processor that:
 collects a plurality of photos from a plurality of sources; 
 collects a plurality of pieces of information relating to one of the plurality of photos from the plurality of sources, wherein at least two of the plurality of pieces of information are from different ones of the plurality of sources; 
   translates the plurality of pieces of information from the different ones of the plurality of sources into a common format;   determines whether the one of the plurality of photos is presently stored in the archive;   stores the one of the plurality of photos in the archive with the plurality of pieces of information in the common format only if the one of the plurality of photos has been determined to not be presently stored in the archive;   determines when the plurality of sources contain at least one of a new piece of information and a change in a piece of information related to the one of the plurality of photos; and   stores in the digital photo archive the at least one of the new piece of information and the change in the piece of information with the one of the plurality of photos that was previously stored in the digital photo archive in response to determining that the plurality of sources contain the at least one of the new piece of information and the change in the piece of information related to the one of the plurality of photos.
