Old VHS tapes and home videos capture moments that can never be recreated — first birthdays, holidays, graduations, and everyday memories that tell your family’s story.
Archive Lane digitizes personal, home-recorded video formats to help protect these recordings from tape degradation and equipment loss. In some cases, clients later choose to incorporate digitized clips into Digital Slideshows, or preserve related paperwork through Document Digitization.
Especially helpful for:
Families with VHS, MiniDV, or other aging home video tapes
Individuals without access to working playback equipment
Those preserving milestone events like weddings, birthdays, and graduations
Anyone wanting to protect recordings from tape deterioration
Bring your home videos back to life.
