What is the value for meaning for keeping home photos or videos? Does anyone provide meta tags, detailed information or narration? How is the photo or video meaningful unless you add your detailed memories to it for others to understand?

Most of my tapes did have pretty detailed narration and date overlays written directly to tape. But even without narration I still had luck doing basic event summarization and facial recognition of family members to build the tags.
If the relevant relatives are still around but don't have the ability to play tapes anymore but want to watch them from time to time, you don't need any of that.
