We are a local, in-person scanning service in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. 

We digitize and preserve photos, slides, letters, documents, scrapbooks, artwork and ephemera.

All materials are scanned on high resolution scanners and digital cameras at 600 DPI. Slides and negatives are scanned at 4000 DPI.

Scans are cropped and rotated and delivered as TIFF and JPEG files on a hard drive.
Your photos and material will be handled with extreme care. 

All our work is done in-house and by-hand using archival standard practices. We are happy to organize your materials into archival sleeves and binders or archive boxes for long-term storage and safekeeping. 

High-resolution scans. Local drop-off.

Details matter — especially the ones you haven’t seen in years.
We inspect each slide before it hits the scanner.
We scan all your favorites:
Kodachrome, Ektachrome and any other type of slide or negative.
Slides are loaded into a tray before they hit the scanner. And inspected one more time.
Careful loading of the slides from archival binder (on left) to slide tray (on right).
Slides get loaded into the tray, dusted off and are ready to scan.
We love to dive into newspaper clippings, letters, postcards and ephemera. When scanning isn’t the right fit, we document each piece by hand using a tabletop camera and studio lighting.
Check out this tintype!
Cabinet cards from the late 1800s.
Always a fun surprise when you look at a slide through a loupe. Paris in 1961.
Have a stack of letters and not sure what to do with them? Let us help!
Boxes of photos are our happy place.
