Photos, Slides, Negatives, and Documents: A Journey Through Memory and Time
Throughout history, humanity has always sought to capture moments, tell stories, and preserve memories. Photos, slides, negatives, and documents have been quintessential in this endeavor, offering snapshots of our past and presenting a vivid chronology of our evolution, culture, and personal journeys.
Which ever of these keepsakes you have in your collection, digitizing them can unlock their full potential. While hard-copy photo albums are great to have, they cannot be easily shared nor elevated into stunning slideshow presentations without digitizing them first.
We understand that tackling the digitization of these memories may seem daunting, but we’ll make it easier for you, and the sooner you begin, the sooner you and your family can enjoy the added benefits of bringing these memories into the digital age. Start the process by contacting us today!
Please note the following before bringing in or mailing your image collection to us:
Photos should be removed from albums and organized in the order that you want them scanned. Organize them in groups in envelopes. Photos should be on a flexible material, or will require a more expensive flat-bed scan. We can digitize photos given in albums but there would be additional charges for taking them out and placing them back into albums.
You can qualify for a 20% discount on your slide transfers if you can provide your slides in standard 80 or 140 slide Kodak carousels or in bundles of around 35 slides with elastics… oriented as desired. Please note, the digital file transfers of your slides will be oriented in the same way that you place them in the carousel or bundles. If you have different formats of slides, it is appreciated to group those formats together. We have a handy guide here that outlines how best to organize your slides.
If your slides or negatives have dust and/or debris on them, it’s best to clean them before bringing them in. Blow off dust first with compressed air and then use a micro-fibre cloth to wipe them down. Clean slides and negatives are important for the best possible capture.
Negatives can be provided in strips (in addition to singles). Only 35mm and APS negatives can be provided in rolls.
Remove all staples from documents.
