Memory Fortress — Local services in Duluth

Thank you Memory Fortress for ALL your hard work! We are thrilled with the quality of the work, the meticulous organization, and impeccable support and communication from Keith and Team at Memory Fortress!!!

Last year my father passed away, shortly after my mother, and they left behind a veritable library of memories collected over 50 years. My father was an avid photographer and movie maker, and mom lovingly made scrapbooks and albums..over the years this amassed to boxes and boxes of mixed media forms and outdated equipment. After the Estate sale, my brother and I were left with these boxes of memories and it was simply too painful for us to make sense of it all...after alot of research we agreed to send this collection to Memory Fortress.

The owner, Keith, was very understanding of the situation and agreed to help us make sense of it all. So, those dusty boxes moved out of Nebraska into their office in Atlanta, where the team organized, cleaned, digitized, and created a digital version of all the memories.

The best part was receiving a sleek external storage device with clean boxes of organized media forms: scrapbooks, photos, slides, negatives of ALL shapes and sizes, videos from every camcorder known (Dad did love a new camera every Christmas), cards, birth announcements...I mean everything...lovingly organized and packaged for the journey (and storage LOL).

The external drive had neat folders arranged with all the different memories and the team worked to arrange them by media and mile markers/events/years...we honestly did very little to organize the delivery and it's a testament to the Memory Fortress team in how they developed and delivered the folders. They even sent a matching external drive to my brother in Portland. We were both in awe of what we saw, and ever so grateful for somebody helping us shift past the loss, and focus on the legacy left behind by our parents.

Memory Fortress is best in class for communication, quality of work, and genuine understanding of client needs! Thank you Memory Fortress Team we are forever grateful for...

Several years ago, my dad gave me a box full of old 8mm family movies. Many were filled with movies of me as an infant and a young girl. Uncertain of a reputable company in which to entrust with the task of digitizing these precious memories, the 8mm reels remained safely packed away until recently. While searching for photo digitizing companies, I came upon the Memory Fortress website. I called them inquiring about their services. Keith Osbon, the owner, answered all of my questions without hesitation. He walked me through the process of packing shipping the movie reels.

Ten 8mm movies reels were sent in. Keith and Memory Fortress remained in contact with me throughout the entire conversion process. They did an amazing job! The quality of the digitized movies is excellent. Having these special moments from the past preserved on a thumb drive which can be copied and shared with my husband, children, and grandchildren is priceless!

I highly recommend Memory Fortress. This company treats your precious family memories as if they were their own! Memory Fortress is definitely a company which is reliable and trustworthy. I will definitely be using them again to digitize VHS movies from my boys’ childhood.

Thank you Memory...

Kudos to the entire Memory Fortress Team! I recently became the keeper of our family’s photo history. With over seven generations of items, it was an overwhelming feeling. Many of the slides, film and photos had already started to deteriorate and I had no place to store all of the boxes. I did a lot of research and found Memory Fortress. I sent a large box of videos, loose slides, and prints in every size you could imagine. It was scary to ship the originals, but Memory Fortress put my mind at ease. They kept me up to date every step of the way and in less than a week, I received the originals back and one small USB with the high quality, digital images. It’s been a thrill to simply send a link and share everything with my family. Even my great niece and nephew have enjoyed it. There is no way they would have kept all the boxes of actual photos. Now everything is labeled, organized, digital, easy to share and back up. Thanks Memory Fortress for making what seemed impossible...
