Preserve Family Memories Shoebox Scans



Shoebox scans are designed for all of us that have boxes of treasured old photographs packed in a box and tucked away in a closet. Our Kodak high speed scanner will save those photos to a CD for permanent storage and ease of sharing with others.  Photos may range in size from wallet (2 ½ x 3 ½ ) up to 8 ½ x11. Photos that are mounted may or may not run through the scanner. Damaged photos are processed at your risk. A determination whether we can scan a mounted photo will be made before we actually do the scans.

Standard scans are 300 dpi for the original size of the photo and written to a CD. Orientation and order of photos is not guaranteed.

Just a reminder that images with copyright restrictions cannot be copied without consent from the photographer.

Here’s how to prepare your prints for scanning:
Remove all prints from albums or envelopes. We can only scan loose prints.

Sort prints grouping same sizes together, face up. Within each size group, keep horizontal images together and vertical images together facing the same direction, oriented top up.

You can request images be scanned in a specific order regardless of size but additional charges apply. Here’s a suggestion: If you want to keep groups of photos together, place an index card with some pertinent information on it and we will scan the card along with the images.

Remove all tape, staples, paper clips, glue or other attachments from the prints.

Non-conforming photos such as those smaller than a wallet, larger than 8x12, mounted, torn, Polaroids, negatives and slides will not correctly feed through our automated equipment. These can be custom scanned for an additional charge.
