Summer is the perfect time to finally take care of one of the important family projects — preserving your family’s legacy.
Storage Conditions Your family’s story and legacy – captured in videotapes, film, photographs, slides and negatives – is one of your most precious memories. Unfortunately, these memories are slowly deteriorating over time. Even if stored in ideal conditions (no direct sunlight, a little cool, free from dust), these memories are slowly deteriorating.
Unfortunately, many of us store our videotapes and photos in less than ideal places, like:
- Attics
- Bedroom closets
- Bedroom dresser drawers
- Garages
- Utility closets
As a result, our memories are fading fast, are never enjoyed and will soon be lost forever.
Collecting Memories Summer is a great time to scour your house for these memories. But don’t forget about the memories stored at your parents’ house or your siblings’ houses. One of the best ways to get this “family legacy” project rolling is to let the entire family know that you are going to preserve the entire family’s history and legacy. Encourage them to preserve and convert their memories as well.
Or, if you are “the organizer” in the family, have everyone send their memories to you, and you can box them all up together, bring them to us. In just a few short weeks, your memories will be transferred to DVDs. You’ll get your original materials back, as well as a stack of tidy DVDs that you can share with friends and family.
Choose a theme Many of our customers tell us that they’ve had great fun by encouraging family members to collect memories organized around one central theme. Some sample ideas include:
- Mom and Dad’s 40th wedding anniversary
- Annual shore trips
- first bicycle rides of each grandkid
- Brides walking down the aisle
You get the idea. By converting your memories 
you’ll have a group of DVDs that are perfect for sharing with loved ones throughout the year!
