We digitize to archive our memories safely, and also to be able to joyously share with family, friends, and community.
Whether it’s documents and photos in a dusty box, or files and folders in your computer, I can help. From digital-to-digital and physical-to-digital (digitization), scanning, saving, rescuing, resurrecting, and general backing up, I’m into it. I have a real thing about preserving the past, whether that’s 50 years ago, or last week.
Here’s more info on some of the things I do.
Give me your file boxes of documents, photos and despair. I will return them neatly organized, and with a digital copy of the whole collection. Individual documents can be scanned to multi-page PDF, and images saved in your preferred image format.
That creaky Windows XP laptop that still has photos on it? That failed device that won’t give up the goods? Five old backup drives needing gathering, de-duplication and organizing? Want to recycle an old device but need to be sure your private info comes out first?
Did you know you should only back up those files you'd rather not lose forever? I can help you set up a system or do a mighty paroxysm of backing up.
I run two types of scanners for two types of media. For photos, slides, and things requiring high-quality scans: a good quality consumer-level flatbed scanner. For paper documents, (multi-page, full-colour, double-side) my fancy auto feed scanner can save as image or PDF. Here for examples of my scans!
I don’t share your documents and images with anyone, I don’t keep copies, and I don’t discuss your personal private business with anyone. Ever.
