Disaster-Proof Your Family Photos
Hurricanes, tornados, floods, fires, even sewer backups destroy originals. Digitize your slides and paper photos now so your memories survive—and are easy to copy, share, and store safely.
Why protect your photos now?
Question: What will it take to make you regret not getting your slide and photo collection digitized and preserved from any further deterioration? If disaster strikes, what would you grab first, after your family members and pets?
Answer: Probably your family photo collection—if it was easy to find and you could just grab it as you are running for your life.
Disaster-proof your family photo collection and save yourself the anguish of losing some of your most precious family photo history. Get your 35mm slides and paper photos digitized and put on a disk or flash drive so that you can make multiple copies and spread out the chance of loss.
How we help keep backups safe
Old Photo will archive your images as long as our hard drives remain good. If you come to a time in your life where you can't, for some reason, find your disks, you can always come back to Old Photo for a fresh copy of your disks. It is not a guarantee because even the best hard drives fail and we have no control over that. And that is why you should make numerous copies of your disks yourself.
Real-world reminder
When Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, one of our customers from Louisiana had just sent his entire photo collection to Old Photo. He lost his house but he was ever so grateful to know that his photos were safe with us and that, from now on, his slides and photos were going to be preserved from the danger of any future disaster and loss.
Disasters aren’t just headlines
Even when you think you are safe, you might be the victim of a sewer that backs up and fills your basement not only with water but with sewage sludge too.
Nobody expects disaster to strike them. That is why so many people get killed. We all think we are immortal and invulnerable. Sometimes it takes a disaster to show us how mortal and vulnerable we really are. Your slides and photos are even more vulnerable because they can't run from danger. Preserve and protect them for future generations. Let us digitize them and then you can give a copy to every relative you have. Put your whole photo collection into one small safe deposit box. Avoid the heartache of losing your family photo collection.
