I researched companies and on-line reviews before choosing EverPresent. People suggest using local drop-offs for safety. Other companies had some horror stories of lost tapes, incomplete processing and nasty customer service. I'm a bereaved parent with 23 year old tapes of my son than could not be replaced. I chose EverPresent to safeguard my memories because of their excellent reviews and their process which is committed to safety. My experience was EXCELLENT. A consultant was assigned, acknowledged receipt of my tapes, each was given a number and bar code for tracking. I received the finished drive with ALL my files labeled and a report detailing any issues with each source I sent and what they did to preserve as much as possible. Also unique to EverPresent is that if it turns out that some of your tapes don't have much on them, they don't charge you for it.

Spend the money to have them put the files on a drive, its so easy and quick to dump on a PC and save the drive as a back up. EverPresent is excellent and as the Executive Director of a non-profit serving families with childhood cancer and the facilitator of the bereavement group, I am recommending EverPresent to my families and that is...

Let’s just say some of the films are when I was 5 years old and I am now 62. These were old films filled with family gatherings, weddings, camping trips, vacations and Christmas celebrations. My memories once again came to life. The process was easy, drop off and pick up convenient and communication along the way excellent. I am so happy to have these old films digitized and will now have years of viewing pleasure. I always felt these films were being handled with the care. Everpresent also respected my concerns of privacy with password protection. Although not inexpensive but in line with other companies and worth...
Read moreI SUBMITED A 8MM tape which i did not even know the name to as it is before my time but neither that I know what Was filmed in the tape I didn’t know that services like this existed, and I am so happy to finally find out that it was my father, who passed away who filmed was in my family. We don’t have many videotapes of our past and for EVERPRESENT to recover and digitize it for me was one of the best experiences I have ever felt. They are very trustworthy with my tape and later on in the future I will submit another tape so that they can continue creating more memories for My family thank you...
