March is for memory preservation

1. Gather the Gather Box(es): simple 12x9x4 boxes with endless possibilities. You can stop by your neighborhood Mike’s Camera and load up or order online and have us ship them to you.
2. Decide whether you are going to keep your Gather Box(es) or make someone’s whole year by giving them the gift of photographic preservation. For extra credit, why not do both?
3. Fill the box(es) with loose photos. You can fit roughly 1,500 4×6 prints in a box, but that number can vary widely if your prints are larger or smaller.
4. Return the box(es) at your leisure to the store. Once you’ve purchased the service it never expires, so don’t worry if it takes you quite some time to get your prints together. That being said, the sooner you return a box, the sooner you’ll get to enjoy those professionally digitized images!
5. Despite requiring the least effort, this is the hardest one—you have to wait until we’re done scanning! Please bear in mind that it can take a little longer when we run a special like this one, and remember that we are taking the same great care of your photos as we are of all the other ones that come in. And remember that we aren’t sending your cherished memories off somewhere else—we’re taking care of it in-house.
6. Once we let you know that we are done, you can pick up your originals and final digital files!

A Basic Gather Box includes 300 PPI scans, which are sufficient for reproducing your photos at the same physical size. If you opt for the Gold version, we’ll up that to 600 PPI scans, which will have the resolution necessary to print new copies up to four times as large. Either way, you can rest easy knowing that those hundreds and hundreds of irreplaceable memories have been prepared for easy duplication, preservation, restoration, social media shareification, and more.
