Your photographs never leave the house.
We digitize your family's photos and home videos on-site, in a single day, at your kitchen table. Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.
We digitize your family's photos and home videos on-site, in a single day, at your kitchen table. Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.
In a closet, under a bed, or in a parent's apartment that has to be emptied by the end of the month. Thousands of photographs, a stack of tapes nobody owns a player for, and no good way to deal with any of it.
The usual answer is to mail your only copies to a warehouse in another state and wait six weeks for them to come back. Most people never do it, and we understand exactly why.
Newmonic arrives with a full scanning setup and works in your home while you are there. When we leave, you have a drive with everything on it, a backup copy, and every original still in your hands.
Nothing gets shipped. Nothing gets left behind.
Loose photos, bound albums, magnetic pages, odd sizes, and the fragile ones that have to come out by hand.
VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Video8 and MiniDV, transferred while the photos scan. Tape from the eighties and nineties is actively degrading and does not have forever.
Dates, names and notes on the reverse get captured and attached to the photo they belong to, so the collection is still searchable years from now.
Scanned on-site alongside everything else. They run slower than prints, so we plan the day around how many you have rather than sending them anywhere.
Files named and sorted by year, by event, by side of the family. Whatever you tell us as we go. Not four thousand files called IMG_4021.
A drive before we leave, plus a second backup copy. Cloud access as well if you want your family to be able to see it.
A rough count is plenty. Three shoeboxes and a bag of tapes is a perfectly good description. We will tell you whether it is a half day or a full one, and what it will cost, before we book anything.
Usually a kitchen table or a spare room. You are welcome to sit with us and tell us who everyone is, which makes the finished archive far better, or leave us to it and check in at lunch.
Your originals, a drive, and a backup copy, all of it the same day. Your photographs never go in a box, never go in a truck, and never leave the room you keep them in.
Introductory rates while we build our reviews. Estates, larger collections and anything on a deadline are quoted directly, and we are glad to work alongside move managers and estate professionals.
Send a rough idea of what you have and where you are. We will come back with a price and a date, usually the same day.
