We sent them all formats of old videos, dating as far back as 1987 and they digitized all of it. This was a project I’ve wanted to do for years and looked for places to digitize all my old images and videos but never found one place that would do it all. Also, both of them are exceptionally patient and spent hours updating us, helping us manage all the images after sending everything to us. We highly recommend family archivists to anyone!

They converted all of the photos that I had stored on CDs into digital photos for me and stored them on my external hard drive. I just looked at them for the first time in 10+ years and it was SO MUCH FUN! I'm grateful for their expertise. I'm a home organizer and I will recommend them to my clients!

-Sarah L., Lake Oswego, Oregon

I have been carting around tubs of photos, birthday cards, newspaper clippings, and artwork that my daughter has created. These are all very special things to me, but I had no way of viewing them unless I wanted to dig through the chaotic jumble inside my tubs - and I did not.

I also didn't like the physical weight of the tubs and how much space they were taking in my home. Each time I saw them I would sigh thinking to myself..."you've got to do something with all of that stuff..." But the idea of trying to make it organized and easily accessible overwhelmed me, and The Family Archivists took all that overwhelm away for me.

The Family Archivists photographed each piece so beautifully and carefully. I cannot wait to make an album of these photos so that I can look through them easily and be reminded of all those special moments in my and my family's lives. Thank-you Family Archivists for preserving such special memories for my family and me. It is really special what you're able to do.

-Jen W., Salem, Oregon

I can't express enough how their services have transformed my chaotic photo collection into a beautifully organized archive.

They took the time to understand my preferences and goals to create a plan that suited my family's needs. Their professionalism, customized approach, meticulous organization, and commitment to preserving and presenting memories are nothing short of remarkable.

If you're looking to declutter and revive your photo collection or wish to create a special gift, I wholeheartedly recommend their services. It's a five-star experience all the way!

I reached out to Rachel at the Family Archivists to help me create a video montage for my son’s Bar Mitzvah. Not only did she take this huge task on but she did it quickly and made ALL the corrections, changes and suggestions I had in stride. She was very easy to work with. Highly recommend them.

-Allison K., Thousand Oaks, California

Morgan and Rachel digitized hundreds of family photos for me and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend The Family Archivists.

-Beth C., Thousand Oaks, California

Wow! What an amazing experience with their photo organizing skills! I’ve gotten all my years of confusing, jumbled iPhone photos neatly organized now into files on a handy & bright Zip drive they bought for me! I’m locked and loaded with easy-to-find pictures to create books, & treasure after treasure of all our historically good times! What a cool way to save our family legacy honorably!

-Collen T., Oregon City, Oregon

Professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Helped to digitize a variety of media for use in making prints and visuals for my father’s celebration of life. Reasonably priced as well!

-Dean B., Portland, Oregon

The Family Archivists helped me find old digital photos on my back up hard drive. Their expertise shined a light on how mac computers store old iPhoto files. I would never have figured this out on my own, I'm so thankful for their experience and technological knowledge!!!

-Danya S., Portland, Oregon

Incredible value - Rachel was absolutely amazing. Not only did she organize all of my existing photos, but spent the time to teach me how to do this myself going forward. Highly recommend.

-Jennifer B., Lake Oswego, Oregon

I had around 60 family photos that I wanted to have digitized so that I could make a photo album for a family member.

I contacted the Family Archivists and heard back within a day. I dropped off the photos and, about a week later, they were ready for viewing over Zoom. Morgan discussed each image and the level of retouching necessary to make it look its best.

I received the finished products today, and I am delighted with the results. I am amazed at how Morgan was able to revive faded and spotted 100-year-old images, some of which were on their way to extinction. It's also touching to see the freshness in my 80 year-old-mother's adolescent face, which had been discoloring slowly over the years.

I highly recommend the Family Archivists to anyone who wants to preserve the visual history of their family for the generations to come. Rachel and Morgan are easy to work with, flexible, and produce excellent results.

-Cheryl D., Portland, Oregon

Rachel and her husband are my digital earth angels!! They are truly so skilled and absolutely and obviously love what they do. They resurrected a 1989 VHS tape of me on the Price is Right with Bob Barker. It is priceless! They digitized a clip of my deceased grandma and deceased mother, that I will cherish forever. My kids got to see that their grandma had black hair back in the day!! I was even able to see glimpses of the home that I grew up in. It was like walking back in time.

Don’t hesitate to contact The Family Archivists. They are incredibly communicative, prompt, caring, and very economical! They will be digitizing all the rest of our VHS tapes and then next onto the old fashion photo albums! Thank you Rachel and Morgan for your invaluable and expert service.

-Heather G., Lake Oswego, Oregon

The Family Archivists, were a life saver. They took a VHS that had been transferred to DVD of my parents from 21 years ago and now I have flash drives to share with all the grand kids. Very well done!

-Collen H., Portland, Oregon

What a wonderful and professional company. Not only were they extremely kind to us when we told them we needed help with photos for a memorial, but they were response, quick and affordable. Don't waste your time elsewhere!

-Victoria B., La Center, Washington

I can't thank The Family Archivists enough for their incredible work. Morgan beautifully restored a cherished portrait of my mother in her youth that has a crack right through her face. Now there’s a seamless beautiful smile where her mouth was missing. Where others were unsuccessful, Morgan expertly worked his magic. He kept in constant communication with me and the turnaround time was excellent.

I was referred to The Family Archivists by a professional photo organizer. From the start, Morgan and Rachel were professional and understanding. They carefully explained the restoration process and put my worries at ease. I am now finally able to move forward with including this portrait in a legacy photobook that generations will enjoy.

-Susy G., Chino, California

They did an awesome job organizing and editing our picture collection down to a reasonable archival state. Everything was preserved and saved, but only the best parts take up digital storage space. Really a wonderful experience getting all of our parent's photo albums archived and presentable.

-Christopher L., Beaverton, Oregon

The Family Archivists communicated every step of the way. They did an excellent job of restoring my photos.

-Ellen T., Portland, Oregon

The Family Archivists were so great to work with! They were thorough, and went above and beyond to digitize a gigantic historical archive for our community with over 13,000 entries. I can't recommend them highly enough if you need any archiving services whatsoever!

-Tim B., Santa Barbara, California

Rachel & Morgan were so great, would definitely recommend them! They photo scanned a larger piece of artwork at a reasonable price that I was having trouble finding a place to do it.

Excellent service, wonderful quality, and really kind people as well.They were also able to work really quickly which I so appreciated for my fast approaching deadline. ’m so glad I found them and will definitely come back!

-Anne B., Portland, Oregon

Rachel was amazing to work with! I reached out to see if she could help with a very specific project with a tight timeline and she was so easy to work with. She was very transparent with pricing and kept me informed every step of the way.

I handed her a fat stack of photos and in the end, she delivered a beautiful photobook (and the digital copy of the photos and the book too). It was a gift for my dad and he literally carries it around to show people. I definitely plan on doing more of these projects in the future! Thank you, Rachel!

-Alexis Y., Portland, Oregon

It was such a pleasure to work with Rachel. She made the process so easy. The quality of the work and the care for our photos was beyond expectations. In short, I couldn’t be happier. So glad I worked with them.

-Eric M., Lake Oswego, Oregon

Rachel was so helpful and the results amazing. She transformed over 100 old slides into high quality photos. I highly recommend The Family Archivists.

-Nancy O., Lake Oswego, Oregon

An extremely professional business. Quick to respond, quick turnaround, quality product, and most pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend!

-Mary E., Portland, Oregon

The Family Archivists exceeded all my expectations! They organized and digitized approximately 40 years of photos and videos (which included reel-to-reel, VCR, Hi-8 and Mini-8, and DVD) for my family. For the first time we can share them digitally and more importantly, easily watch videos and access photos. The memories are priceless, but having this done is the best money we spent this year! Can’t say enough!! 11 out of 10!

-Kasey H., Lake Oswego, Oregon

I had a major need of digitizing some old photos and went looking on the internet and local Yellow Pages for ideas.  The internet gave me some, but many of the reviews suggested that photos were sent out of country to be done and I was skeptical of the turn-around time and that all the pictures would be returned.  The Yellow Pages put me onto The Family Archivists and I called.

Rachel explained their services.  I was most impressed that she could scan pictures from albums without removing them; could do pictures in the order that I wanted; could label the pictures so the receiver would have a clue of what they might be looking at.

She went through all of the pictures with me to make sure of what I wanted and I was out the door and she was on the job.  Within a week, the job was done and ready.....as promised.  The pictures are in the order I specified and are easily identified when opened on the drive.  I printed a couple of pictures and they look as they should.

If you have pictures you need to preserve or pass onto multiple relatives,  meet with Rachel and she can suggest how to best complete the job you want done.  I have more pictures and will be using her again. 

-Susan W., Astoria, Oregon

I recently worked with Rachel and Morgan at The Family Archivists to digitize my family's collection of historic photos. From my first interaction with them, it was clear that they are experts in the field of preserving family history. They were passionate about helping me to ensure that my family's memories would be well cared for. They assisted with recommending archival materials to store my physical materials and set up an easy to use system for my now digitized photographs with file names and keywords. Morgan also retouched several old, damaged photographs, bringing them back to life. I really enjoyed my experience working with The Family Archivists and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs help organizing their family photos.

-Karissa O., Thousand Oaks, California

We recently needed help with organizing and creating a slide show for a celebration of life. Not knowing how to begin this extremely emotionally difficult process, and with photos that were not organized, we reached out to The Family Archivists for help.

Rachel was not only incredibly responsive but was supportive, professional and completed a beautiful slideshow . I would recommend The Family Archivists to anyone knowing that the completed project will be perfect!

-Anna J., Milwaukie, Oregon

I am very happy with the service Family Archivist has provided. They are very knowledgable, have a variety of services and treat your belongings with caring. I'm so happy I went with Family Archivist and highly recommend them!

-Stephanie L., Portland, Oregon

Great family business that put care into their work and are super with communication. Reasonable rates. It's nice to be able to support the local economy with a business let this. I'll be a return customer.

-Zach P., Portland, Oregon

I used The Family Archivists to have family photos digitized for my mom’s celebration of life service. Some of the pics were very old and not in very good shape. I was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the work and how quickly they were able to get the job done. The team was attentive, knowledgeable and easy to work with, and I can’t recommend The Family Archivists enough for great quality digitized photos.

-Tammy M., Portland, Oregon

Rachel was incredible. She answered any questions I had, explained their process of digitizing documents, assuaged any and all concerns. Big thumbs-up. Super professional.

-Jon M., Hood River, Oregon

I highly recommend The Family Archivists for anyone with digital preservation needs, especially for old slides. I entrusted them with family slides and audio tapes that were over 40 years old, and the final product exceeded my expectations. They brought those wonderful memories back to life in ways I hadn't imagined.

-Faith C., Portland, Oregon

The Family Archivists did a fantastic job of helping our family get our photos scanned. Now we are able to share all photos with all family members. This was particularly important for preserving our ancestors's photos and documents so that our children will be able to connect our family history with the photos. The quality of the work, the restoration of old photos and the customer service was excellent. I would definitely use them again.
