Documents and photographs can deteriorate with age and handling.
Make sure that you preserve your valuable history by making a digital copy.
This might not replace the original but will provide a permanent backup copy, will reduce handling and enable sharing.
Photographs
Photographs from the earlier age of film and prints will deteriorate with age.
Secure your precious memories and make the photos come alive as you are able to share them on-line with friends and family.
Most important, though, is the “digital copy” can be kept safe for the future.
Documents
Older documentation, such as church records, is always in danger of being lost or damaged over the years
If you have valuable records and archives still in regular use, you need to consider having a scanned copy available for day-to-day use – and preserving the original.
