What to Archive?

Preserve photos, baby books, baby clothes, your child's artwork, your letters, awards, souvenirs - via scan or photo. Your old photos and personal mementos can be preserved and catalogued digitally. Whether you want to pack them away or are trying to clear out some of the clutter in your life, digitizing these items is the first step.

Heritage Projects

The popularity of genealogy, heritage and culture projects has continued, but how can one share their efforts with those who may be interested? How can you combine the best of your genealogy research and the mementos you saved, the military memorabilia from your father and the old photos of your grandparents? Increase their relevance and accessibility to more family and relatives who might have items and information to contribute

"We’ve got digital pictures in the camera, scans on the computer, JPEGS attached to e-mails, and tunes on tiny players. ...there’s also the old-fashioned stuff: photos in shoeboxes, videos in the attic, documents in desk drawers, songs on tape and vinyl. How do you transform all of these different elements into a convenient archive you can store in your computer, easily reach, and actually enjoy?"
