Digitize your photos  

"Nostalgic Media is the one to call if you have old media such as slides, home movies, and even old audiocassettes lying around. On two occasions, some leftover "mystery" media surfaced in my attic after I thought I had digitized it all. Called NM and they walked me through the process of identifying the old media's type and packing it up to send them. Seemed like it took them no time at all--got it all back in very short time frame. I highly recommend Nostalgic Media."

Testimonials

Trusted by Thousands of Families
& Top-Organizations


  • "Very thrilled

    with the outcome of the 70 year old slides that you converted to digital files for me. The end product was a lot better than I expected. This was the first time I have seen pictures of my father from when he was a young boy in the 1950s. He passed last year and these keepsakes are very treasured."

    Stephen S.

  • "I was very pleased

    with Nostalgic Media. First, leading up to placing my order, I called them and got someone on the phone immediately, no 1 minute recording. My questions were answered and I submitted my material and payment. The sending was quick and I was notified of shipping dates. Would use their services again."

    Tom R.

  • "Nostalgic media delivered

    just as they advertised. They converted my 55+ year old 8mm reels into digital media and now my family can relive some golden moments that I had feared were lost to memory. They were fast and gave me a product better than what I had hoped for. I recommend them without hesitation."
