Photo & Negative Digitization

Your memories deserve better
than a box in the attic.

We turn your old photos, negatives, and slides into digital files that last — so nothing fades, gets damaged, or disappears for good.

About Then & Now Archives

Why we started this

Family is everything to us, and we believe preserving your memories is about more than just a service — it's a way to document a lifetime of moments and carry that legacy forward for generations to come. A birthday, a wedding, a quiet Sunday afternoon: these are the moments that tell the story of who we are.

That belief is why we started Then & Now Archives. We wanted to give families a simple, trustworthy way to hold onto their history, so the good times stay safe and secure — and always within reach, whenever you want to remember them.

Care

Every photo handled the way we'd want our own family's memories treated.

Craft

Every scan checked by hand for color, crop, and clarity before it ships.

Trust

Logged on arrival, never sent anywhere without your say-so.

Meet The Team

Matthew & Danny

Matthew

Matthew

I'm Matthew, and this business started with a very full box of my own family's photos that had been sitting untouched for years. I've helped my family uncover thousands of photos from negatives we thought we might never see again, and I want to give that same gift to other families.

Danny

Danny

I'm Danny, and for me this has always been personal — some of my favorite memories are flipping through old family albums and reliving old times with the people I love. Helping other families hold onto those same moments, safe and ready to share for years to come, is what makes this feel like so much more than just a job.
