DON'T ship off your Treasures

Have you noticed that a lot of the other services that want to scan your heirloom photos or other media start out with MAILING them off somewhere?

Granted, most things, if packed properly, can take it. Fed-Ex and those guys aren't that bad. But still... some things just yank at your sentimentally paranoid heartstrings. "What if?.."

Vintage Voices Family Archiving does not require you to send anything you don't want to. If you are close enough to one of our Mobile Archivists, we are perfectly willing and able to pick up your treasures ourselves, or, in some cases, scan or digitally photograph them right where you are.

That's part of what we mean when we say we're "Totally Mobile".

Fragile Photos

Do you have photos that are cracking, chipping, or already torn? ( Distressed furniture is in vogue, but it’s not good for heirloom photos. )

First we'll stabilize the item so we can scan it (digitize it) and then whatever you choose to do with the original item, it will be safer than it was before.

Once it’s digital, we bring out the best and clean up the rest.

Scanned and saved in high resolution, you can make re-prints or reasonable enlargements that will look more like the image did when it was first in the hands of your ancestors.
