Pile of vintage black and white photographs scattered haphazardly.

Most of us will have precious memories that have been captured in photos. The problem is that so often these are held captive in a box or photo album that rarely sees the light of day and is often inaccessible to those we would love to share them with.

At My Memories Unboxed we seek to bring your memories out into the open so that they can be enjoyed, shared, and safeguarded for the future.

Photo Scanning Service

We specialise in digitally capturing family photos, slides, and negatives using the same photo scanning technique that is used in museums and archives around the world. With the latest in imaging technology we’re able capture amazing scans whilst also being able to handle your memories with a greater degree of gentleness and care than some other scanning processes.

Our photo scanning service includes:

  • high resolution capture (600 PPI for prints & 4000 PPI for slides and negatives),

  • cropping,

  • rotation, and

  • colour correction.

You’ll be able to share your photos with liberality, ease and confidence. It will also allow you to enlarge your photos to at least 2x their original size; and with the added colour correction they maybe even better than before.

Wherever possible we’ll also return your photos and other media to you in archival safe boxes so that they too can be safeguarded for the future.

Where Do I Start?

If you aren’t sure where to start, we suggest starting with what is most precious to you. If you have a specific project or deadline in mind, we can work towards that goal.

If you’re hoping to safeguard and share your whole collection then that begins with gathering it all together. When it’s all gathered, it’ll be time to curate what you’ve got. This is an important step because we don’t need a living memory of every blurry picture or plate of food, even if some might be precious to us. We can help along the way if this seems like an overwhelming task. After curating the collection we can then move to digitising it so that it can be enjoyed, shared, and safeguarded for the future.
