When I stumbled upon a huge box of old photos while organizing my office, I DM’d my buddy and tech guru Rich DeMuro and asked him where he recommended I send the old photos to get them digitized. He wrote right back and said: “The best place is ScanMyPhotos.”

I’ve heard of ScanMyPhotos before so I wasn’t surprised by his recommendation but I just wanted to be sure since these photos are some of my most prized possessions. The photos are from growing up, college, and my trips to Europe with my mother – none of these can be replaced so I didn’t want to hand them over to just anyone or spend the time scanning them myself.

I sent in 2,000 photos and used their concierge service so I would get updates about when my box was delivered when they started to scan the photos (they even send a video of them actually being scanned) and when they were on their way back via FedEx.

Their service, quality, and care have been great and I’m now motivated to get even more organized. ScanMyPhotos also preserves slides, film negatives, VHS cassettes, and home movie films so I’m going to send some of those in next.

As they have written on their website: “To go time traveling and rediscovering past vacations, family reunions, and special memories, ScanMyPhotos.com has the technology to transport you back to the future. They are like a magical time machine to revisit your childhood, remember long-lost relatives, beloved pets, and nostalgic adventures. Getting digital copies of your archives is how to turn back time to see your family as they were – to take a trip down memory lane.”

I couldn’t have said it any better myself.
