Have you considered sending your photos, films, or slides to a digitizing service, but held back because of that nagging worry that “something bad” might happen to your treasures? Fire, flood, tornadoes, earthquakes, loss of heirlooms are all equal in the eyes of the family historian.
I’m not going to try to convince you to “let go,” but I’m planning an article to review a local digitizing service that I have used with good success. I toured ScanDigital’s facility in El Segundo, California in October, 2009 and was pleased with services and security systems in place. You can read the full review here.
Not long ago, ScanDigital relocated in the same little beach community. I’ve seen the new building and it looks even larger than the old space. It helps that my son lives in El Segundo and passes on these Breaking News tidbits.
Also not long ago, a reader commented on my article with her own worrisome experience at ScanDigital. I contacted the company and Pamela Weiss posted a helpful response. She also invited me to come to El Segundo to tour the new facility, and I’ve already said “Yes.” I’m waiting for my own digitizing order to be completed, and will schedule to tour and pick up my items at the same time.
Do you have questions about using a digitizing service? Maybe you would like to know about the tracking system or see photos of the techs at work? Leave your questions in the Comments to this post and I will do my best to get them answered.
