  1. 1

    Drop off your box

    Pack your items in a box labeled with your name, email and phone number. Leave it in my Marshfield dropbox anytime, book a drop-off appointment in Marshfield or Brighton, or mail it in.

  2. Hands holding an old black-and-white photo over a pile of prints2

    I digitize everything by hand

    Every tape, reel and photo is captured and checked by me, not a warehouse crew. If something needs a repair first, I fix it and let you know.

  3. A USB drive being plugged into a laptop3

    Get your memories back

    Once you’ve paid, your originals come back to the same dropbox along with your files on a USB drive, a DVD set or a download link.

“Jack did an amazing job with my fiancé’s family VHS tapes (all 40 of them)! Great quality even for 1986 tapes, would highly recommend getting your tapes done by Jack.”

Not local? Rather mail it in? Here's how

Those tapes aren’t getting any younger.

Magnetic tape fades a little more every year. Start your order today and I’ll take it from there.
