We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
Going through my childhood as I clean out my moms home. Any recommendations for digitizing these? I’ve checked legacybox but they charge per reel. These are short reels so would end up costing a fortune. Would it be worth somehow transferring to one larger reel which would count as one reel therefore much cheaper. If so, how would I do this? Or is there a company that would charge by foot instead? Amy advice appreciated.
bit expensive but cheaper than most services of similar quality. Nikki Coyle at TheNegative.Space is my go to. Amazing quality and She charges $0.40 per foot for HD, $0.50 for 2k and $0.60 for 4k. (a single reel is usually 50ft)
