Where to Get Old Family Photos and Documents Scanned in La Crosse, Wisconsin

If you have boxes of old family photos, albums, newspaper clippings, letters, certificates, or other documents sitting in a closet, basement, or attic, you may have thought about getting them digitized but never quite gotten around to it.

It's understandable. Scanning a few photos is easy. Scanning hundreds of them, organizing the files, and making sure everything is captured at a good quality can quickly turn into a daunting task.

Driftless Digitizing provides local photo and document scanning for the La Crosse area. We make it easier to preserve family photographs and documents without having to mail irreplaceable originals across the country.

Why Digitize Old Photos and Documents?

Old photographs and paper documents don't last forever. Photos can fade or become discolored, newspaper clippings can become brittle, and important family materials can be damaged by moisture, moving, or simply years of handling.

Digitizing creates a permanent way to preserve those memories and records.

Digital copies are also much easier to share. Instead of passing around the only copy of an old family photograph, you can send the digital image to children, grandchildren, siblings, and relatives anywhere in the world.

What Do We Scan?

Driftless Digitizing can handle a variety of materials, including:

• Individual photographs

• Letters and other handwritten documents

• Certificates and records

• Newspaper and magazine clippings

• Genealogy materials

• Scrapbook and album pages

• Other family documents and memorabilia

• Have a special request? Just let us know.

• 
  

Photos can be digitized as individual JPEG image files, making them easy to view, organize, print, and share.

Documents and full album or scrapbook pages can be scanned into PDF files, which are especially useful when you want to preserve the arrangement, captions, handwriting, and context of the original pages.

Now anyone can access the old family photo albums from their phones or computers.

Why Use a Local Photo Scanning Service?

There are large companies that allow you to ship photographs away for digitization, but many people understandably hesitate to put irreplaceable family materials in the mail.

Using a local scanning service means your originals stay here in the La Crosse area.

It also makes unusual projects easier. A collection containing photographs, handwritten notes, newspaper clippings, genealogy records, and album pages doesn't necessarily fit neatly into the ordering system of a large mail-in scanning company. And you'll never get the opportunity to speak one-on-one about the project before it gets underway.

With a local service, we can look at what you actually have and talk about your needs together before we start digitizing it.
