Photo Management / Storage
We are currently looking into new ways to store and manage photos. We have tens of thousands of pictures, video clips, etc. and we would like a way to keep them all managed and easily accessible.

We will be using Flikr after the season to help with the management, but I would also like a physical storage (I don't trust off-site cloud management. I want backups).

I also want a way to effectively collect photos from people after events. We have a problem with getting photos from people after our competitions and outreach events, even after pestering for weeks and weeks. We need some kind of policy or procedure to mitigate this problem.

Bonus: I would like to tag photos to be searchable by subject, people in the picture, event, etc. So if I want to find a picture of inspiring children for a publication, I can find it more easily than sifting through pictures for hours.

Does anybody have any experience with this? What has / has not worked for you? Any advice in general?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for all of your help!
