Preserve Family Photos & Other Items

Found in my box of 'stuff' from grandparents!

 

A couple of old photo albums of my family.

 

Do you have boxes of older family albums?  Do you want to preserve those items for future generations?  Here are some ways to do this yourself, or even to find someone to help you with the project.

If you have some of the older type of scrapbooks from the 1940’s and the photos are put on with photo corners and descriptions are in white ink, you can still preserve them.  We take those books, scan the entire page and then you can actually make a digital book of those pages.  Easy, and you can then make copies for other family members.  What a great gift to give loved ones about their heritage.

It is so important to scan those pictures and to save them because the longer the photos are in boxes, attics, or garages they will continue to deteriorate.  The other issue is the possibility of losing those photos in case of a home fire, water damage, or other disaster.
