Memories Renewed — Local services in Fridley

I brought quite a few old slides that my mom had given me about 40 years ago. I didn't have a slide projector so I never knew what was on them. I noticed them on a shelf and thought I would see if I could have them made into photos. I brought them to one place and they were put on a USB. I was disappointed because they weren't clear but I was surprised to see that there were pictures of me and my husband when we were first dating, we were teenagers, pics of prom, our wedding and some of my oldest daughter. these were made so precious to me because my husband passed away in April and I didn't have any of these kinds of pictures except for wedding pics. I brought the slides to Memories Renewed and told them about my previous experience at a different place and they assured me they would do their best. First off they did the job much quicker and I can't begin to express how wonderful the new USB was. I put it into a digital frame and it brought me so much joy and comfort to see all the beautiful, clear pictures of my husband. And there were new ones that weren't on the USB from the other place! You can tell they care enough to do such excellent work. I will forever be grateful to them and if you are looking to have a project done, don't hesitate to Have Memories Renewed do it. You won't be...

I sent to Memories Renewed a collection of VHS, Video 8, and Mini DV tapes of original movies that my mother wrote, directed, and produced between 1989 and 2004 featuring her grandchildren.

The folks at Memories Renewed were incredible at every stage of working with me to digitize the movies, including collaborating with me in deciding on which source material to supply, reviewing multiple sources for a single movie to determine the best one to use, creating a separate file for each movie, and custom titling each file with the movie date and name.

The digitized movies are fabulous. We were surprised by the quality given the condition of the source material. Here is what I wrote to them:

My mother and I and our family want to thank you guys for a job incredibly and professionally well-done!! It was a true pleasure working with you, and we are thrilled with the results.

I can’t believe how you graciously coped with all the materials we supplied and gave us a beautifully done final product with perfect file separations...

On short notice I showed up to Memories Renewed on a Saturday with a box of 515 35mm slides I had been attempting to scan into digital format myself for some time. Due to unfortunate family events, I needed professional help with this process and am very glad I came into Memories Renewed. Chris, the owner of Memories Renewed, was able produce from these 515 slides a timeless, excellent product that I have already shared with many family members. I explained to Chris that rush processing would be appreciated and was satisfied with the time-frame of by the upcoming Friday. On that Monday (in less than a business day) Chris let me know that the slides were ready for pickup; excellent customer service! The slides turned out great and afterwards Chris was quick to respond to follow-up my emails I had with the DVD copying process. I plan to go back to Chris with another box of slides when time becomes...
