Archiving and Scanning

Will Your Memories Stand the Test of Time?

The answer to that question is dependent on what you decide to do with your photos and memorabilia today. How will you decide to store and archive your photos, movies, slides and keepsakes? How will you decide to preserve the memories of your childhood, school days, vacations, weddings, ancestors?  Will you and future generations ever get to see and enjoy these images? Our hope is that you decide to do something to protect your precious family legacy. This will bring you peace of mind knowing that your precious family memories are protected for generations to come.

What should you Digitize?

Think beyond just photo scanning to all of the other items in your life that you would like to preserve and share with others. Once your items are digitized, their lifespan is substantially increased and if you follow our backup suggestions, they are protected from environmental damage like fires or flooding.

To get your thoughts going, here are just a few of the items besides photos that we have digitized over the years:

Recipes in Grandma’s handwriting with a “pinch of this” and a “pinch of that”, birth, baptism, and wedding certificates, Ancestry documents and deeds, children’s artwork and adult artwork, letters, postcards, newspaper articles, certificates, scrapbook pages, album pages, awards.

How It Works

Take a deep breath. We are here for you every step of the way and can answer your questions, give advice and guide you through the process. Once you get started, it is actually very easy.

1. Gather up your photos, slides, memorabilia, video tapes. Make any special notations necessary such as front and back scanning.
2. Drop off your items to be digitized to our store. They stay safely with us on location and are handled by our trained archiving experts who treat your memories as their own.
3. Your items are scanned and digitized with a resolution of 300 dpi. Your originals remain intact and are returned to you as you dropped them off.
4. You receive an email when your order is complete.  This can vary depending on the size of your order and how many orders are ahead of you.
5. Pick up your order and enjoy sharing your files with family and friends!

Please Note: We respect the rights of professional photographers and are unable to scan copyrighted images without written permission from the original photographer/creator.

Who Needs a Copy

It is easy and affordable to make duplicate copies once all of your items are digitized.  When you drop off your project, make sure to order copies for people who would like a copy: grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, children etc. You don’t want to be sharing your copy! You might not get it back!
