We specialize in…

Image Scanning and Optimization
Photos and other images are scanned and stored on Zip^® disks for your historical archives. We can give you thumbnails of your images to integrate with your museum collections software, or we will provide you with an index book with thumbnails. We can also bring our scanning equipment on-site (Puget Sound area) so that donors do not have to let those precious photos out of their sight. (See "Suggestions for scanning days.")

Book Design and Layout
Your finished book—whether a photographic community history or a montage of memories—has a professional layout which is easy to read and pleasing to the eye. Contact us if you would like to see page samples.

Short-run Publishing
We can print as few as 10 or as many as 500 books at each printing. This allows you to only pay for the number of books you wish to keep in stock. Each book is individually printed on a laser printer to ensure high quality image reproduction.

Memoir Writing Workshops and Consulting
Let us help your group to begin writing their memories of your community history. We can help you prepare a "memory-sparking" workbook and then assist your elders as they begin writing their stories.
