About this Service

I offer digitizing and an archiving service for important documents, art work, journals, family photos, film negatives, photo slides, home videos, your personal movie and music collections. All files are transferred onto a flash drive for you to access on your computer, or I can upload your files onto the digital storage option of your choice.

Unlike labs in New York City I bring a more personal touch to the process. I treat your archives with the utmost care and attention. I communicate with you about the condition of footage in real time, and work on sorting out what parts of your archives should be digitized and what can be left out. Any materials that are damaged I can offer solutions when possible .

See below for the media formats and services I offer. Additionally, I can input your records, tapes, and CDs on Discogs or Ebay. I also offer scanning services of books for professors and academics. My service is a great gift for a friend or loved one who has a collection collecting dust. Rates depend on the scale of the project. To set up a consultation please email me.

Background and Expertise

As a fourth-generation New Yorker brought up by a family of artists, I was surrounded by collections of art, music and assorted ephemera. This exposure has manifested into a archiving service for clients around New York City that I started in 2021. Before my work as an archivist I had a career in arts education for 14 years.
