CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Posted on Brian MozeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Archiving Life Media digitized many VHS, DVDs, photos, and other materials for our school and did amazing work! They were quick with getting it done and always communicated with us if there were any changes or questions regarding the order. We will definitely come back to them for future orders. Thanks for everything you did and look forward to working together in the future!Posted on Laurel HanlonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and team did a wonderful job of saving all our treasured memories for years to come. Everything from our wedding, as the kids grew up, and even old memories with grandparents! We have been having so much fun looking back on them. Many of the old tapes had started to fail and they were able to capture the videos before they were gone forever. Thank you so much!Posted on Annalisa PearsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought in two 78rpm records from the mid-1940s with audio of my dad as a toddler with his mom who passed away just a couple years later. The records were sent to my grandfather who was overseas during WWII. The discs had a couple scratches and I wasn’t sure if they were playable. Chris assured me he would be able to get something off the discs and by the next morning (with a very reasonable 24 hr rush fee), I had a flash drive with four files of my grandmother’s voice (clear as can be), which hasn’t been heard by any of my family members in over 50 years, and my father’s cute little toddler voice. Needless to say, I cried my eyes out upon listening. I cannot wait to share these priceless recordings with the rest of my family. Worth every penny and I will be bringing many more slides, negatives, and old film to them. I love that they restore and digitize the media in-house; they don’t send your priceless media and memories out to other places/companies. Excellent communication all-around and I really appreciated how enthusiastic and excited they were right along with me regarding the recordings I brought in. Can’t say enough good things. They have a lifelong customer and I’ve already recommended them to several Bloomington friends and I only picked up the recordings a couple hours ago! Thank you thank you thank you!Posted on Lori PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
