Your family's photos and tapes, digitized right here on the Peninsula.

We're a family in San Mateo. You hand us the boxes, we digitize them by hand, and your originals never leave the area.

Now booking our first projects. Local drop-off and pickup around San Mateo County.

They never leave town

Your irreplaceable originals stay local and come back to you. We don't ship your memories to a warehouse in another state.

A real timeline

We tell you when your project will be done, in writing, and we hit it. [turnaround: TBD]

Organized, not dumped

More than a drive full of files. We can sort, date, and set everything up so the whole family can search and watch it.

How it works

Three steps, no mailing, no black box.

Drop off or local pickup

You hand it to a person. We log every item with you and give you a receipt, so you know exactly what you handed over.

We digitize it locally

Done here, by us, on our own equipment. Fragile pieces are handled by hand, and we hit the date we gave you.

Get it back, organized

Your originals come home with the digital copies. Choose plain files, or the organized archive the whole family can watch.

What we digitize

If it holds a memory and it's collecting dust, we can probably help.

Printed photos

Loose prints, sticky albums, odd sizes.

Slides & negatives

Carousels, boxes, strips.

VHS & camcorder tapes

VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Hi8, and more.

8mm & Super-8 film

Home-movie reels.

Not sure what you've got, or found something unusual in a box? Bring it by and we'll take a look.
