Preserve Those Memories!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find one of these in just about every home: a box full of family memories in the form of VHS
tapes, film reels, slides or some other obsolete media. People tell themselves, \u201cI should get those put on
a flash drive or DVD\u2026\u201d but more often than not, they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why aren’t people getting their home movies and slides converted? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why not? Well, the reasons are many! They don\u2019t know how to convert old media. They don\u2019t have a
VCR or projector anymore. They don\u2019t have the time. They\u2019ve heard it\u2019s expensive. They don\u2019t want to
ship the media out of state to convert it. The list goes on and on. Meanwhile, your family memories are sitting in a box quite literally wasting away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life Span of VHS Tapes and 8mm Film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that VHS video has a lifespan of about 20 years before it starts to decay? Think about that and consider that VHS has been obsolete since 2006! Super 8mm and regular 8mm film will fade and become brittle if not stored properly and many people have those old reels sitting in a damp basement or garage (or worse- an attic that is either roasting or freezing)! The slides that were so much fun to watch \u201cback in the day\u201d will also fade with time, warp, shrink and fall apart due to moisture or temperature extremes. All of these media can also grow mold and mildew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if my film reels, film, or VHS cases are damaged or dirty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have old film reels, we can gently clean the film with a special chemical that not only removes dust, it also kills mold and rejuvenates the film to greatly reduce breakage!
