Summer Fun & Expansion at Leave A Legacy
Expanding our operation to another site in Wellington, sharing fun projects and their stories (grandma’s recipe book pages, Stock show ribbons from 1932, military photos and films) are shared.
1950’s collection of photos includes the balanced rock from the Garden of the God’s and other fascinating projects and stories
Jessica brought in a video tape for repair and transfer to mp4 file on a flash drive. The video tape had been stuck in her camera but when removed by the client it had crumpled and torn. She only wanted the first part which is a baby video not the later part that had been recorded over. The unwanted recording was made when the baby was playing with the camera. That baby is now graduating from high school and they want to share this baby video at his graduation.
Unique requests and Blasts from the Past
Newspaper about Japan surrender from 1942, interesting photos from 1970 and 1909, 8-track mix recording transferred, video of a twirler on a cruise ship, joke gifts made from photos, tiny prints for a locket for a daughter.
Projects coming in…
Work is coming to us from some people still cleaning up storage areas during the pandemic, others being evacuated by nearby fires, others have lost family members due to covid and are having old family media digitized and some planning ahead with preserved family memory Christmas gifts.
Inspiration for YOUR memories
Scanned a very interesting book for a family about their father’s service for the country in being called to active duty to test the A bomb at Bikini Atoll nearly a year after the bomb had already been dropped on Hiroshima. He had pictures and comparisons of the air bomb and the bomb detonated under water.
