Welcome 2020. What a crazy Holiday season we had. We were busier than ever (see some stats below). Here are some highlights of what other people were giving as far as family memories go.
Terry always has something interesting for us to work on. This season he brought in a recording of his wedding on a record and a recording of him singing as part of the University of Nebraska Symphony. The Choir recording was shared with Terry by his grandson’s band teacher who had been playing in the band at the same school during the same year. We transferred the records to playable CDs for him.
Wendy brought in some slides from the 1976 Montreal XXI Olympics to be made into digital files. Check out the aerial view of the stadium, the clothes people were wearing and the opening ceremony. Check out the photos in the left column.
The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery brought in over 400 cassette containing historical interview for us to transfer to digital for them to be able to share with the public. Attached is a small segment of interviewer Charlene Tresner speaking with the Chappell family one month after the Big Thompson flood in 1976 that killed at least 140 people and destroyed 418 homes.
Jim brought in some negatives of family photos that he got from a collection at the Lincoln County Museum. He had us scan the negatives and make them into positive digital files for him. Read the interesting story about how the photo collection came to be at the Museum and how they could have photos of your family as well.
Stats for December 2019
We transferred 28,000 feet of movie film, 900 hours of videos, 3000 slides and created 53 books. Its no wonder we felt extra pressure this year as we did 18% more work than December of 2018.
We’ve started out 2020 with a bang…piles of new projects coming in. So bring it on…In with the Old…and Out with the New!
