What is archiving?

Archiving is the process of preserving, organizing and protecting something precious. In our case, it applies to printed photos, video moments and home movies. In other words – your precious family legacy.

What’s your photo management strategy?

Make a plan for your story. How do you plan to preserve all the meaningful events in your life? If you don’t have one, don’t worry. We provide tools, training and assistance so you can tell your story for generations to come. We’ll pair your lifestyle needs with the right photo management solutions, making it easy to keep up with your collection as it grows. Archiving is an important but never-ending process, and it’s just as important to preserve the past as it is the present.

Five awesome reasons to archive:

  1. No family battles. Once your memorabilia is digitized, each and every family member can have their very own digital copy of the files. This is especially helpful in the case of a divorce or death in the family. If you prefer to have a printed copy, we can do that as well.
  2. No more clutter. Storing a DVD or digital version of your memories takes far less space in your home.
  3. Pass it on. Many people choose to order multiple copies of their digitized images for each of their children, grandchildren or siblings.
  4. Peace of mind. Aging photo albums, boxes of prints and home movies are at risk for deterioration, misplacement and destruction in their current state. Archiving is also insurance for loss due to water damage, fire and other environmental hazard
  5. Convenience. Avoid digging through closets and flipping through albums looking for a single photo. Archived images are easily searchable.

We keep your treasures safe and local.

We never recommend shipping away family archives, treasured photos and irreplaceable home video movies. It’s too risky.
