TECH TOYS

Preserve Your MemoriesDo you have photos, slides, or VHS videos of memorable moments? Are these moments important to you but are now stored away? Maybe you can’t view them anymore because you don’t have a projector or a VHS player, or maybe there are just too many pictures to sort through. The time of the year where families get together to share memories is approaching; wouldn’t it be nice to share these memories again?

Preserve a lifetime of memories for future generations at NOPL at Brewerton’s Preservation Studio. With their easy to use equipment you can quickly convert a large quantity of photos into digital format, convert VHS videos to DVD, and preserve 35mm slides or various sized fi lm negatives into digital images.
