We have extensive experience in the restoration of old photographs. The photographs can be old prints
or stored on film. Although this is not our primary area of support, in the past, we have donated our time and
equipment to public service photo restoration and documentation projects , e.g. The History of the West
Linn Police Department project. We also played a relevant role in the restoration of historical photos
for the West Linn Pictorial History Book - ImagesOfAmerica WEST LINN by Cornelia Seigneur and we took
new photographs of historical buildings in West Linn, Oregon for the same project. Please contact us
if you have a need for old photo repairs or restoration. These services are provided free of charge to
some charities and museums. We don't work with or convert old movie film or video tapes. For those types of
conversions we recommend Keepsake Family Tree Video.
Our services are limited to the restoration of printed photographs and images stored on old color or
black and white negatives. Be aware that we will not be responsible for the loss of or damage to film,
negatives, slides and/or prints. Provide them to us at your own risk. Also please don't mail the items
to us without communicating with us first.
Many of the images in the fine arts gallery on this web site were created from slide film,
APS film and 35mm color and black and white film. We have several different types of film and document
scanners and we can create 8 bit and 14 bit digital images from many types of film. However, we do not work
with 8mm or 16mm movie film. For those types of conversions we recommend Keepsake
Family Tree Video. If you have a need for film, slide or print conversions tied to a qualifying charity,
or museum please contact us. It is likely that we can donate some of our time and equipment to the project.
Be aware that we will not be responsible for damage to film, negatives, slides or prints and you
provide them to us at your. Furthermore, make sure that you have the legal right to duplicate the images
before getting us involved. Also, please note that we will not process items that we consider to be
pornographic nature. To avoid problems, contact us first before mailing any film or images for conversion.
All of the works of fine art in the gallery on this web site are available for donation to qualifying
charities. We do our best to make one donation of framed art to a qualifying charity in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan
area every month. We restrict the donation of framed of fine art to the Portland metro area because of the
high costs associated with shipping fine art. Also, framed fine art is fragile and it is easily damaged in
transit. We will also sell our works of fine art to private individuals and corporations when the proceeds of the sale
are designated to a qualifying charity. In those cases, checks in the amount of the purchase, should be made
payable to the qualifying charity. When payment has been received by the charity we will handle the logistics of the
delivery of the art but the costs of the shipping will be paid by the person or entity making the purchase.
