Don't forget home movies and videotapes!

Moving pictures, even without sound, tell compelling family stories

Many families have been making home movies for several generations now. You should ensure these movies are counted among the photo memories you are saving! Digitizing 8mm and 16mm film is very possible, though should be done by specialists. Transferring videotapes has become much easier as technology marched forward.

Compared to prints and film, videotapes become much more fragile with age, so you should make it a priority to get these digitized as soon as possible. Even though you may no longer have a player or camcorder for the tapes, there are many companies that have them at the ready to digitize them for you.

Make a list of the types you have (8mm & 16mm film, Super 8 film, VHS tapes, digital camcorder tapes, etc.) so you can make a plan for converting them to digital.

It’s a big job, but the work is worth it to ensure your Family Photo and video Legacy can be enjoyed by everyone in your family! The stories your photos and videos tell are the stories your family can relive any time you look at them together.
