Preserve the past. Relive the memories.
Remember This Media Services turns VHS tapes, camcorder tapes, and audio cassettes into digital files you can watch, hear, and share today, on a USB drive or DVD. I also digitize slides, film negatives, and printed photos. Local drop off and pickup right here in Rhode Island, so your memories never go in the mail.
Tapes, slides, negatives, and prints. Choose a tab below to see what I can digitize for you.
Home movies and recordings from VCRs, camcorders, and cassette decks, converted to files on USB or DVD that play on your TV, computer, or phone.
Full size VHS tapes and the little tapes from the family camcorder, home movies, birthdays, holidays, first steps, Little League, graduations, school plays, and weddings sitting in closets and attics all over Rhode Island. All of them converted to digital files you can watch on your TV, computer, or phone.
Mixtapes, family recordings, interviews, church services, a parent's voice you haven't heard in years. Converted to digital audio you can play anywhere and share with family.
Found white, powdery mold on a tape? Don't throw it out, and don't play it. I clean moldy VHS tapes first, then digitize them, so footage that looked lost can often be saved.
Playing a tape with mold can damage the tape, clog or ruin the player, and spread mold to other tapes. If you see white powder or fuzzy spots through the tape window, set it aside and get in touch. It can usually be cleaned and saved first.
Slides, negatives, and prints, the shoeboxes, carousels, envelopes, and albums that are hard to share and easy to lose. Each one is scanned to a digital image file, and your originals come right back to you.
35mm slides from carousels and boxes, scanned to image files you can view on your phone or computer, print again, and share with family without a projector.
Negative strips tucked in envelopes and sleeves, scanned and turned into proper photos again, including shots that may never have been printed.
Loose prints and album pages scanned to digital image files that are easy to back up, reprint, and pass along, so one copy in one house becomes a copy for the whole family.
Simple and local, start to finish. Your tapes, slides, negatives, and photos stay in Rhode Island the whole time.

Kurt did an incredible job digitizing some very old VHS tapes. I wasn't sure if he'd be able to salvage anything due to their age and condition (some of my tapes had significant mold on the film itself and some are over 30 years old). He kept me updated along the way, and was always courteous, kind, and kept expectations realistic when dealing with aged, damaged media. I am so happy to have these old memories safe, and I really appreciate his hard work.
Kurt is so easy to work with and very happy he has a business like this that is local!
I cannot recommend Kurt at Remember This Media Services highly enough. After my mother passed away in March, I found two cassette tapes dated 1978. They contained recordings of my mother, my brothers, my father, and family friends playing guitar and bass during their jam sessions back in the day. These tapes were nearly 50 years old and absolutely priceless to our family.
I found Kurt through our local Warwick Facebook community page, and I am so grateful that I chose a local business. Since he is here in Warwick, he came directly to my home to pick up the tapes and returned everything to me in less than 24 hours. He cleaned up the recordings, transferred them to a thumb drive, and also provided a Dropbox link so that other members of my family could easily listen to and download them.
Kurt’s service was excellent, his prices were extremely reasonable, and the personal attention he provided went far beyond what I would have received from a large company. Hearing these recordings again was emotional and truly meant more to me than I can put into words.
I already have some of my mother’s older DVDs that I plan to have Kurt preserve next. Thank you, Kurt, for helping me save such an important and irreplaceable part of my family’s history.
For Christmas, my family gifted my dad the conversion of his old home videos into digital, playable copies. Kurt was fantastic to work with, responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient, with a quick turnaround time. Thanks to Kurt, we were able to relive so many special family memories captured by my dad over the years. I highly recommend his services!
Amazing work. 5 stars. Fast service. So happy I can finally watch all my old home movies again that are now on memory sticks totally happy customer. Ty again
