At Archiving Life Media, we believe memories are priceless. Old videos, photographs, films, and audio recordings capture moments that can never be recreated — family celebrations, childhood milestones, weddings, vacations, and everyday life stories. Unfortunately, time, aging media formats, and outdated technology can make it difficult or even impossible to access these memories today.
Many people have boxes of tapes, reels, photos, and recordings stored away, slowly deteriorating with age. Magnetic tapes lose quality, film fades, and photos can crack or discolor. That’s why Archiving Life Media is dedicated to helping individuals, families, and businesses preserve these moments by converting them into modern digital formats that are easy to access, share, and protect for the future.
Our goal is simple: safeguard your memories so they can be enjoyed today and passed on for generations to come.
What We Do
Archiving Life Media specializes in professional media transfer and digitization services. We take old and fragile media formats and convert them into high-quality digital files using reliable equipment and careful handling. Whether your media is decades old or simply no longer compatible with modern devices, our experienced team ensures every item is treated with respect and attention to detail.
We work with a wide range of formats and projects — from a single family tape to large collections for businesses and organizations. No project is too small or too complex. Every memory matters.
Our Services
We offer a full range of digitization services designed to preserve your memories safely and efficiently.
Video Transfer Services
Do you have old video tapes sitting in drawers or boxes that you haven’t watched in years? Formats like VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Video8, MiniDV, and other tape types are becoming obsolete, and the players needed to watch them are hard to find.
Archiving Life Media converts your old video tapes into digital files that can be viewed on computers, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. Through our video transfer services, this allows you to relive your memories anytime without worrying about damaged tapes or broken players. Digital videos are also easier to back up, edit, and share with family members..
Audio Transfer Services
Audio recordings often hold deeply personal memories — voices of loved ones, music recordings, interviews, and special moments captured on tape or vinyl. Over time, cassette tapes stretch, vinyl records wear down, and reel-to-reel recordings become fragile.
Through our audio transfer services, we transfer cassette tapes, vinyl records, reel-to-reel audio, and other formats into clear, high-quality digital audio files. Archiving Life Media carefully processes your recordings to maintain the original sound while reducing noise and distortion whenever possible.
Film Transfer Services
Old film reels such as 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film often contain some of the most valuable family memories — birthdays, holidays, weddings, and historical moments. Film can fade, crack, or become brittle if not properly preserved.
Through our film transfer services, Archiving Life Media professionally scans film frame by frame, turning it into smooth, high-resolution digital video. This process protects the original film while giving you a modern version that can be easily watched and shared without risk of further damage.
Photo & Slide Scanning
Printed photos, slides, and negatives can fade, warp, or get damaged due to heat, humidity, or time. Once a photo is damaged, it can be impossible to restore fully.
Through our photo & slide scanning, we provide high-resolution scanning for printed photographs, photo albums, slides, and negatives. Archiving Life Media carefully digitizes each image so it can be stored, organized, printed again, or shared digitally. Digitized photos also make it easier to create backups and photo books for future generations.
Corporate & Custom Media Services
In addition to personal projects, Archiving Life Media supports businesses, schools, sports teams, churches, and organizations with professional media digitization services. Corporate training videos, promotional footage, historical archives, and recorded events can all be preserved digitally.
Through our Corporate & custom media services, we offer custom solutions based on your needs, timeline, and project size. Whether you are preserving company history or organizing media for modern use, our team provides reliable and secure services.
