"How to protect your family photos from natural disasters like wildfires and hurricanes."

WARNING: Wildfires and Hurricanes Will Destroy Your Pictures

In today’s ScanMyPhotos Journal, we share a stark reminder of why everyone you know should be planning ahead and scanning their photos – their family history collections – before the next natural disaster hits.

GET STARTED. How to Have Your Photos Scanned

We all know how devastating it can be when natural disasters like wildfires and hurricanes strike. If you have precious family photos stuffed away in drawers, they could be lost forever when disaster strikes. Digitizing them will make them safe from natural disasters and provide peace of mind knowing that your family has digital copies of all their memories.

At ScanMyPhotos, the daily challenges we face are calls by people sharing stories. They explain the “good news, bad news.” Their home was destroyed by a natural disaster, yet their photo albums were spared, as they previously had everything digitized.

Others are less fortunate. They ask how to restore water-damaged photos, 35mm slides, home movie film, and other irreplaceable family images. We recently received an order to digitize about 900 pictures from Louisville, Colorado. Sadly, the customer’s home was destroyed by a fire; several of the irreplaceable photo memories had burn marks on them.

To avoid the heartache of losing your most precious memories, we are here to help.

Our three-plus decades as photo archivists have led us to becoming a top media source for our innovations. We regularly share advice on the best ways to preserve your photo memories.
