About Visiting the Sistine Chapel
Moment by moment time passes and is gone, but memory can rescue moments
and years from oblivion. Saving memories and handing them on preserves
the treasures of individual lives to enrich the knowledge and experiences
of those who follow. Preserving your memories, experiences, insights, lessons,
and values is an irreplaceable gift to those around you now and those generations
to come.
Your memories and knowledge are not only valuable and important because
of what they tell about you, but they are a bridge connecting your
knowledge of your family’s past to inform the present and the
future.
Don’t let these treasures be lost forever! Whether they’re
the thoughts in your mind, the family photos gracing the mantle or
stuffed in shoeboxes, home movies and videotapes, or a collection
of family correspondence,
we can help in a variety of ways to preserve your heritage.
Memoirs.
Through interviews we capture your life story and your family
reminiscences on audiotape. In addition, we can produce an edited transcript, and the transcript can be enhanced to become
a reminiscence, illustrated with family photos in print format or on archival CD.
Ethical
wills. These are short documents that allow you to express ideas,
values, guidance, insights, personal philosophy, spirituality,
hopes for the future, even words of regret or forgiveness. They
are usually produced during estate planning or at an important
life moment.
Scanning,
archiving, and digital repair. We will scan your documents and photos,
and if necessary digitally repair them, and print new restored copies at whatever size you would like or transfer them to CD
or DVD. We can also reproduce selected photos individually or
as a photomontage.
Film
and videotape. We can digitize and transfer 16mm, super or regular
8mm films, and videotapes to DVD.
Family
or Personal Biography videos. These videos include interviews with
or narration by yourself and/or other family members. They also
include selected family photos, films, and other memorabilia to
tell your story or the story of your family. We provide
custom editing of your materials into an enjoyable photomontage,
music
video, mini-movie, or documentary that will be a family treasure.
Physical
preservation of your family history collection.
