ScanMyPhotos: The Photo History Archivist for Institutions
For institutions with a century of stories trapped in photo boxes… ScanMyPhotos.com is your trusted partner in preserving the past. From 340,000 film negatives in the Cayman Islands to nationwide courier pickups, we digitize legacies at scale.
A Nation’s Story, One Photo at a Time
In a small, climate-controlled room in the Cayman Islands, a nation’s legacy was sealed in film negatives. For over 57 years, history had been quietly resting in boxes, vulnerable to storms, heat, and time. Then came the call to ScanMyPhotos.com. It wasn’t just a job. It was a rescue mission. Our photo archivists scanned 340,000 film negatives, transforming a fragile photo archive into a permanent, searchable digital collection. This wasn’t just about saving pictures. It was about preserving identity.
Case Study: Cayman Islands National Archives
The Cayman Islands project shows what’s possible. “ScanMyPhotos exceeded our expectations. Their meticulous attention to detail and swift service were instrumental in preserving our island’s rich history.” Tasked with digitizing more than half a century of visual history, we worked hand-in-hand with archivists to ensure:
- High-resolution scanning for long-term use
- Highest resolution JPEF files and TIFF files are available too.
- Fast delivery via instant uploads
- The project gained national attention when CBS Evening News featured our work, spotlighting how one small company preserved the story of an entire country.
