I second Mark's comments.

I suggest you archive the original raw files and side-car conversion parameter files (e.g. XMP) if you have any. I do not see any benefit in converting to DNG, particularly because some converters treat DNG differently than the original.


If you have room, a full 16-bit TIFF is nice to keep as well, but I usually just keep a full size JPEG at 95% compression.
