Protecting Your Keepsakes in the Comfort of Your Home
Nancy McDonald turns 70 this year. She is the proud mother of five children, fourteen grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. When she lost her mother about six years ago, Nancy took possession of the large collection of photos and genealogy records which grew her pre-existing collection to over 11,000 photos. She recently began to worry about the vulnerability of these boxes stuffed in closets and what would happen to them if her health suddenly took a turn. Nancy felt a heavy responsibility to protect her precious family memories and became even more concerned after hearing about two families losing everything in a house fire. Then she heard of another family going through great turmoil during a father’s funeral where adult siblings in their 60s were fighting over photo albums.
She found some options on the internet, but they required her to ship boxes of her photos to a far-off location. Nancy also thought about doing the photos herself one by one on her desktop scanner but that would have taken more time than she had available, and she wasn’t sure she had the right kind of equipment. Then she was blessed to find the in-home family archiving services of Blue Thread Solutions. After her free consultation, the Blue Thread team arrived with high quality scanning equipment that was easily set up on the dining room table. Nancy was so impressed with the professionalism of the Blue Thread team and the beautiful digital images now available on her phone and computer. The greatest surprise was how easily she could now send digital copies of her favorite photos to friends and family. She had the images saved to a flash drive that could be stored in a fireproof safe and had them uploaded to a private cloud storage service.
These photos give a glimpse of Nancy’s collection during the consultation, and you can see the overwhelming concern on her face. There was so much to do, and she just didn’t know where to begin. The second photo was just a few days later where she is smiling and amazed at how easy it was to work with the Blue Thread Solutions team. Nancy said, “my new peace of mind is so comforting knowing that no matter what happens to my home, I have my most precious memories preserved and protected in a way that can be saved for future generations.”
