Your old home videos, back on the shelf.

We digitize your family’s old tapes and hand them back in a Family Archive: a keepsake case holding a drive of viewing files and a notebook for the details the video can’t tell.

Give the memories a place to live.

There are moments on these tapes you may have forgotten. We make them easier to find again, then show you how to keep the story going.

  1. 1

    Rescue

    Hand us your tapes (we’ll pick them up if you’re nearby) and we digitize each one so the people and moments on them are easy to watch on today’s screens. The originals come back to you.

  2. 2

    Gather

    Your videos come back clearly named, on a drive, with a notebook for dates, names and the stories behind each tape.

  3. 3

    Continue

    A simple guide shows you how to add the videos you’re recording now. The archive can grow with your family.

We work with VHS, MiniDV and HDV tapes. Have something else? Ask and we’ll let you know.

The case explains itself.

The drive

Every tape as a viewing file, clearly labelled, plus a short guide for adding new videos.

The notebook

A simple index: what’s on the drive, dates, who’s in it, and the details the video can’t tell.

The case

A book-sized volume with your family’s name on the spine, made to live on the shelf instead of in a box in the garage.

Your family memories stay local.

No boxing up your tapes and shipping them across the country. They’re digitized right here in San Jose and never leave the area, so you always know where they are, and handing them over is as easy as a quick drop-off.

Three editions, one shelf.

Your family name goes on the spine. Every edition shares the same size, so future volumes line up beside the first.

Up to 4 tapes. A good way to start with that one small stack.

Additional tapes

Add them to either package, in any format we work with.

Every package includes your videos as digital files on a drive, the keepsake case and booklet, and your original tapes returned. If you’re in the South Bay, pickup and drop-off are included too. Outside the South Bay? Get in touch and we’ll figure it out.
