Institutional & Archive Services
We have over a decade of experience working with a diverse range of institutional clients including universities, non-profit organizations, local government agencies, and film production studios.
Our experience handling large-scale archives means we understand the unique challenges of preserving historical content, and managing projects that span thousands of tapes or multiple formats.
For organizations and extensive collections, we offer on-site consultations and project evaluations to assess your archive's scope, identify preservation priorities, and develop customized digitization workflows that fit your timeline and budget.
We handle institutional projects with the discretion and professionalism your organization requires, including secure handling protocols, detailed inventory tracking, and confidential processing when needed.
Volume Pricing
Volume pricing is available for large-scale projects, with discounts structured to make comprehensive archive preservation financially feasible.
Whether you're digitizing a complete broadcast archive, preserving decades of educational programming, or converting corporate training libraries, we'll work with you to develop a preservation plan that meets both your technical requirements and budgetary considerations.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
-
You pick whichever format works best for you and we’ll do the rest.
If you need both files and discs, just add $15 per item.
-
A free 30-day, unlimited download and sharing link (up to 100GB in size).
All of our orders for video transfer to digital files come with a free download and sharing link so you can share your memories with as many family members and friends as you like.
Need longer than 30 days? We can store your files indefinitely for just $5 a month.
-
If your tapes have labels, we’ll transfer those titles onto your files and discs, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Got dates on them? We’ll do our best to sort everything in chronological order. No extra charge, no extra hassle.
-
Video tape audio (especially on VHS and VHS-C) can often be much quieter than expected, making it difficult to hear what’s going on.
We carefully amplify the signal to improve clarity and bring the sound back to a more natural level, without distorting it.
-
Our video transfer files are provided as high quality .MP4 files as standard (the most compatible format), so you can take them anywhere and load them on any device.
PROFESSIONAL ADD-ON SERVICES
-
$10 per tape
Video tapes often come with unwanted hissing and humming that can be a real distraction.
Our audio clean up service reduces as much of that noise as possible while keeping everything else intact, so you can focus on the moments that matter, not the background buzz.
-
$10 per tape
Older TVs didn’t show the entire video frame, leaving black borders around the footage. Now, with larger, high-resolution screens, those borders are visible and can look messy.
If you want a cleaner, more polished video, this service is for you.
-
$10 per tape
Over time, video tapes naturally degrade, causing the picture to fade. An unfortunate process known as “Tape Decay.”
We use specialized techniques to restore some of that lost clarity and bring your memories back to life.
-
$10 per splice
If your tape or reel has snapped and just needs splicing back together, the doctor is in!
-
$30 per tape
For more major repairs like rehousing or re-spooling your tape, this is our most comprehensive repair service.
-
If the audio on your tape needs more TLC than just equalization, our experts are here to work their magic.
With decades of experience, we’ll bring clarity, warmth, and life back to your tapes making them sound their absolute best.
See our Audio Restoration page for pricing
-
All our orders come with a free download and sharing link, but if you’d like to add a USB drive to your order, we can get the right size for the media you have.
Our prices start at $12 and we can let you know how large a drive you’ll need.
“I was very hesitant about sharing my priceless family memories, and shipping them off somewhere to be converted to memories I could share and enjoy with our family.
We were very happy to hear about Paul, happier after talking with him and his history successfully converting these various Mini DVDs and VHS tapes and an added bonus was that he picks up and delivers!
In less than one week I had my 30 DVDs and VHS tapes converted and downloaded.
We’ve already started watching and could not be happier with the service and quality. There were a few, close to 30 years old; stored improperly that he was able to restore.
I’m sure we will find more as we continue to downsize and we will confidently reach out to Paul again.”
