Do you have boxes of photos waiting for the perfect Saturday to come so you can organize and put them in albums? What about a VHS tape of your wedding, yet your husband threw out the VHS player when DVDs took over our movie viewing.
I have thousands of photos, tapes, negatives, and more sitting in boxes waiting for me to organize them. Well, they’ve been sitting there for nearly ten years so you could say that they are aging gracefully.
Recently, I discovered Legacybox, and I am excited to partner with them to help me get my precious memories digitized and give you the opportunity to win a HUGE closet sized digital package for you to digitize all of your favorite memories.
I loved the Legacybox concept at first sight. They can digitize old movies, reels, photos, film, audio and more. Giving my family a lifetime of memories in a digital format -a format I prefer so I can print, share online, and keep forever in our cloud backup.
The process was easy; all I had to do is fill my Legacybox with my photos, wedding video, and other memories, and ship it off. The most difficult part, I believe, is deciding what to digitize!
In return, you get everything you send them back on DVD’s, or you can upgrade to thumb drive backups. The DVD’s were ok for me because all I had to do after is transfer the files to my Dropbox and I was set!
Living in Louisiana, my family has the very special “evacuation box” for emergencies. This box is full of photo albums, more photos that I just never got around to putting in an album, and our wedding video. If you have never had to evacuate your home for bad weather, you will have to trust me that it’s a very hard decision to choose what your most valuable items are that can fit in the car with your family.
These memories are irreplaceable, from our wedding to the birth of our first child. These are moments we captured before the world of digital photography. Having lived through Hurricane Katrina, we have many family and friends who had already lost all of their photos and videos. So with that in mind, digitizing our memories has been a priority of ours, but I never had the time to scan each photo myself nor the technology to transfer audio or video tapes to a DVD.
So after careful sifting through many (many!) photos, which provided an entire weekend of fun conversations with the kids and lots of stories told, the first round of memories were shipped in our prepaid and labeled Legacybox.
The process was easy and tons of fun. The hardest part was waiting to get my Legacybox back with my memories that will last forever.

Old family photos, home videos when my children were growing up.

Legacybox sounds awesome! I have four kids and tons of printed photos and various sizes of video tapes that I would love to get organized and preserved! Thanks for sharing this information!
Kay
Digitizing memories sounds like an awesome idea! My first child was born during the polaroid era so I’m not sure if those can be transferred to digital or not but I would love it! Old photos do tend to fade as well so Legacybox sounds like the way to go. I have tons of old memories sitting around in boxes that I never got around to putting in scrapbooks. What a great way to organize and control the chaos! I will definitely check more into this!

What a great give away, it has always been on my list to do and never gets done… Pictures of my 3 kids growing up would be my priority if I had to choose. Thanks!
Grace
Honestly, just all of the family photos. Anything that documents the changes everyone has gone through. It’s so fun to look back 5,10,20 years and get a glimpse of the past.
Gwen B
Lots of old movies from when my daughter was young and have some of my grandmother’s old pictures.
Amy
I have a box of 8mm home movies from my grandmother of my mother as a child that I would love to get digitized to share with my daughters.
Vanessa
Our family is really big into mapping our genealogy and this would come in handy for so many different things. I have so many old prints and reels i’d love to digitize and document. It would be so fantastic to preserve all the memories and bring things into the digital age. Hopefully also restoring old photos that can be scanned and edited back to life.
This is such a cool give away to offer!!
Thank you for the chance to enter 🙂
Elizabeth
I would love to save my photos from my kids special moments, 1st years, baptism, first communion etc.
Jess
I would put pictures of my passed father on cd for his grandkids who never met him.

A few years ago I scanned AAALLL our old family photos and the photos from our grandparents back that my parents had and made cd’s for all my siblings and thumb drives for my parents and myself. This way sounds soooo much easier.
Danielle
We have so many home movies from my childhood that we have been meaning to digitize for years.
Sarah
Oh, I have been so anxious to try these types of services! I grew up in a family with 11 kids, and now I have 7 of my own. I told my mom I would give her this as a gift, but then I checked the prices – OUCH! Is there a better way? YES – win it in a giveaway! 🙂
Cindee
The printed photos I have of my young family are so precious, this service would actually save them! I want to tear up when I see these photos and remember my precious babies, I don’t want to tear up because the photos get damaged!
Lisa
Definitely wedding photos and wedding album plus pictures of the kids. And maybe birth video Of one of my kids
