Are your photos trapped in the past?
Have you thought about media conversion services? There are several companies that will do this; however, FOREVER not only will send you a USB drive of your memories, they will be stored in your FOREVER online account as well (keep in mind you have to have a large enough account).
My father passed away when I was quite young. The only picture I had of him was an official Air Force black and white. A few years ago my mom gave me a box full of old family photos Dad had taken on 35 mm slides. Of course there was not a working slide projector.
I tried the cheap ($35.00) DIY scanner that converts slides and negative to digital images; however, the quality was not great and the color balance was off. That was enough to prove I wanted the pictures done in a professional manner.
We sent several hundred slides and a video reel off to be converted several years ago. They returned all of the original media as well as DVDs of the digital content. The memories are priceless and now I can share them with my brothers.
That was several years ago. It is wonderful to have the DVDs, but we also have to consider how they will be viewed in the future.
Now we have our wedding ceremony recorded on a VHS cassette tape. What we don’t have is any way to view it.
I have a cassette tape that my best friend recorded of some of his songs as a graduation present. What I don’t have is any way to listen to it.
We decided now was the time to finish digitizing our old media types along with some pictures I took while in school.
Technology is constantly changing and we needed solutions to make sure our memories do not become obsolete. FOREVER has a guarantee to convert your content to the latest format & keep your memories safe.
How it works:
- The first step is to choose your box. There are different sizes based on how much and the types of media you have. You can send in old photos, slides, home movies, VHS & cassette tapes as well as full 12×12 scrapbook pages to be scanned to digital. If you are not sure, please reach out to me or customer service on their website.
- Next, just separate the types of media into the individual bags and adhere one of the labels to each bag. There are instructions in the box that walk you through what an “item” is for each bag.
- Shipping is included with your box, so use the label provided and drop off at your local UPS store. The box will also include tracking information.
- Once FOREVER receives the box, they will update you each step of the way in your FOREVER box center. You will always know where your memories are in the process.
- If you have a paid FOREVER storage account, they will automatically put your digitized content into an album labeled FOREVER Box album for safekeeping. You may also choose to have everything put on a USB drive. Your original media will be returned to you with tracking information.
If you have pictures, negatives, slides, or videos that you inherited from a parent or grand parent consider having them converted to digital to share with Family, Friends, and future generations.
Digitize Once. Enjoy for Generations.
While most digital conversion services simply convert your family memories from one temporary format to another, FOREVER preserves your memories for generations online with FOREVER Storage. You can rest easy knowing that no one cares more about protecting your memories than we do.
If you have any questions about this process or how to get started, please let me know. I would love to help you preserve your precious memories to be enjoyed for years to come! If you would like to know why I choose FOREVER, you can read this previous blog post about why I became an Ambassador. If you would like to know how I categorize my photos once they are downloaded, you can read about that in this post about how to easily find your photos.
Come back soon to see where these memories are now!
As always, I am here to help you save, organize & enjoy your photos.
