Fading colors, turning yellow, becoming brittle - sound like a skin product commercial? We’re not talking about preserving your looks, we’re talking about preserving those important items that you clipped out of newspapers or magazines.

Maybe your Dad was a decorated WWII hero. Maybe your son took first place in the soapbox derby race. Maybe your favorite charity was showcased in the local paper. Whatever the case, you probably have clipped out a newspaper article or two over the years. There are probably some magazine articles folded and stored in a drawer. You get the idea - not a great way to preserve the items long term, and not too easy to share with friends and family.

Speaking of war heroes, one of our client’s father was just such a man. The magazine article and discharge papers shown below were some of the items that his son had clung to and treasured over the years. He brought us all his Dad’s memorabilia, and we took high-resolution shots, cleaned them up and created a nice leather scrapbook that will be a family heirloom.
