We offer museum-quality services for private collections by taking boxes of photographs and film (home movies) through 7 proven steps of the archiving process. Photographs and Film are inherently at risk of deterioration. Additionally environmental factors such as heat, humidity, mold, dirt, critters accelerate the deterioration process. These collections are generally in boxes in garages, attics, basements, storage units all a gravitational point for these problems. We help you organize these artifacts, digitize and make them accessible now and preserve the original artifacts for future generations by offering cold storage that slows the deterioration process and extends the permanence by hundreds of years. Remember "digitization is not preservation" – ALWAYS SAVE THE ORIGINAL ELEMENT!   -FIRE – FLOOD – TORNADO – HURRICANE – EARTHQUAKE - When disaster strikes, photographs, journals, diaries, memorabilia and home movies are the first thought on everyone's mind. Keep yours safe by making them accessible (digitally) and storing the originals in our cold storage specifically engineered for photographs and film and prepared for private collections.

We also offer Personal History services whereby we interview you on videotape or audio tape, edit or transcribe these sessions to create a legacy for your business or family members either on DVD or in book form.
