Preserving Your Family's Legacy with Legacybox
At Gowler Homes, we believe that building a home is about more than just walls and design—it’s about creating a space where memories are made, stories are shared, and legacies are built. Just as we craft homes designed to last for generations, preserving the memories that fill those homes is equally important.
One way to ensure your family’s most treasured moments live on is by digitizing them, and that’s where Legacybox comes in.
What is Legacybox?
Legacybox is a professional digitization service that helps families preserve their old media, including VHS tapes, film reels, photos, and audio cassettes. Over time, these analog formats can degrade, become obsolete, or get lost, making it difficult for future generations to access the memories stored within them. Legacybox provides a simple and reliable way to convert these precious keepsakes into digital files, ensuring they remain safe and accessible for years to come.
How Does Legacybox Work?
Legacybox has streamlined the digitization process into three simple steps:
1. Send in Your Memories
When you order a Legacybox kit, you’ll receive a specially designed box with step-by-step instructions, safety barcodes for each item, and a pre-paid shipping label. Simply pack up your tapes, films, photos, or audio recordings and send them to Legacybox’s state-of-the-art facility.
2. Professional Digitization
Once received, Legacybox’s team of trained technicians carefully handles each item, converting them into high-quality digital files. They use the latest technology to ensure the best possible preservation, removing dust, correcting color, and stabilizing footage where needed.
3. Receive Your Digital Copies
After the digitization process, Legacybox returns your original items along with digital versions of your memories. These can be provided in various formats, including a cloud download, a thumb drive, or DVDs, allowing you to easily access, share, and safeguard them.
Why Digitizing Your Memories Matters
Protect Against Loss and Damage
Time, environmental factors, and outdated technology can make it difficult to access old media. Film reels become brittle, VHS tapes degrade, and photo prints fade. Digitizing ensures your memories are protected from deterioration and disasters like fire, flooding, or accidental loss.
Make Sharing Easy
Once your memories are in a digital format, they become easy to share with family members. Whether you want to send a special childhood video to a sibling or compile a family history album, digital files allow for effortless sharing across generations.
Ensure Future Accessibility
Many analog formats are no longer compatible with modern devices. By converting them to digital, you ensure that your memories remain viewable on current and future technology, making it easier for your children and grandchildren to connect with the past.
Why This Means So Much to Us
At Gowler Homes, Legacybox holds a special place in our hearts because we have personally used it to preserve our most treasured family memories. We know firsthand how powerful it is to watch old home videos that we thought were lost to time, to hear the voices of loved ones who are no longer with us, and to share these moments with future generations. Legacybox has allowed us to relive and protect the stories that mean the most to us, and we are truly grateful for the ability to keep our family’s history alive.
