Digitisation services
Preserve a lifetime of memories with our digital scanning service and turn your old photos and videos into a shareable Family Digital Time Capsule. Build an online folder system for shareable vital family documentation.
Preserve your memories
Your old photos, home videos, and cine film hold stories that deserve to be remember, not left to fade in a box. Our digitisation service transforms your treasured memories into digital files and safely places them in your interactive Family Digital Time Capsule.
By digitising them, you ensure these moments are never lost to time, damage, or decay. Instead, they live on as easily accessible, beautifully preserved memories that are ready to be shared with future generations.
Build a basket based on what you want to add to your Family Digital Time Capsule, and we will upload these to your Digital Time Capsule for you.
How it works
Enter your desire number of photos, videos etc and complete your order online quickly and securely. You’ll receive a confirmation email with next steps.
Use a strong box and wrap each item securely. Avoid mailing bags and fill gaps to prevent movement. Label clearly with your order number and return address.
Choose a suitable courier to post your items to us and complete your “Send & Scan Form”. We can provide links to a list of reputable and affordable couriers.
Once we receive your items, our team gets to work. Your tapes, films, or photos are digitised with great care. We keep you updated throughout the process.
Your digital files will be uploaded to your Miigen account. We’ll then return your original items to you free of charge. Your memories are now preserved for generations to come.
Building your Family Digital Time capsule is going to take you on a journey of learning, not only about your family but learning new technology. Our Biographers are your ideal guide.
As more family members want to join your Family Digital Time Capsule you can upgrade your free 10 user account with a few clicks. You can also upgrade to additional storage for more memories.

We digitise a wide range of photo memories, including:
Download & Complete the Collation Document
Print it off, fill it in, and place it in your box. This lets you tag albums or bundles with details like dates, people, or events.
Sort & Organise
Group photos into bundles or albums that make sense to you (e.g. by year, event, or family member).
Remove Clips & Notes
Please take off paper clips, staples, or sticky notes to avoid damage.
Pack Securely
Use a sturdy box with plenty of padding to keep your photos and albums safe in transit
We carefully convert a wide range of home video formats, including:
Because video and cine film files are much larger than photos, uploading them directly to your Miigen account would quickly use up free storage. Instead, we’ll transfer your digitised videos onto a USB device, which we’ll send back to you safely.
This way, you can watch them directly from the USB on your computer or TV and Choose which highlights you’d like us to help upload into Miigen later.
Label Your Tapes (If Possible)
Keep any notes already on the cassettes (e.g. “Holiday 1992”). This makes identification easier.
Check for Damage
If a tape casing is cracked or looks broken, let us know before sending. We may still be able to help with special handling.
Pack Carefully
Use a sturdy box with padding to prevent tapes or reels from moving around in transit.
