Digitize your visual memories!
Don’t send your images off to high-priced digitization companies! Let Archive Your Past help you preserve your memories with high quality scans. We can scan regular photo prints, fragile or delicate prints, oversized or very small photos, documents, newspapers articles and more! We even digitize VHS/VCR tapes!
Scanning quality can vary greatly depending on the condition and film processing method of the photo. We work with an Epson V850 flat-bed scanner to provide you with the best image that we can craft.
Together, we will talk about grouping and labeling your images so the project meets your needs. We can group your images by years, events, family branches, topics or any other idea you have. Ask me about the charge for this project service.

Digitize your VHS tapes!
Wouldn’t it be great to see the video from years ago? We can convert a VHS/VCR tape to a digital format for you. We charge $30 for the first 60 minutes of the tape and $15 for each subsequent 60 minutes. Since some VHS tapes stretch over time, we will do our very best to capture the entire image on the tape. (Only standard VHS tapes at this time. No copyrighted or pornographic material.)
