From the disks we’ve seen come back to the shop we know that more people need the message on how to handle disks correctly to keep them working.
Don’t touch the back of the disk with anything. The back of the disk (the side that goes down in the dvd player without the label on it) is where the information is contained on the disk. Any scratches or finger smudges can affect the playability of the disk. When you pick up a disk, hold it by the edges of the disk or the edge of the inner hole only. When we set a disk down at Leave A Legacy it is either in it’s jewel case or we flip it upside down.
This segment is for giving you ideas on how to preserve your family memories. Many times it is our family history or our parent’s and grandparent’s stories that we want to preserve. Some clients have brought in birth records, marriage certificates, death notices and news articles that document their family history. Ancestory.com is also a useful resource that many clients have used to find historical family records. One client recently found a ship manifest there listing some relatives who came to America. We have special scanners to carefully handle your oversized and delicate documents. Once we have a digital image we can create a book, DVD slideshow or more….we are limited only by your imagination!
I’m going to start a new series of articles about writing your life story. At Leave A Legacy our mission is to assist people in preserving their photos and
memories digitally. I believe that everyone has a story to tell, a story to preserve. You may not have invented something or made a big discovery. You may not feel as though you’ve done anything important. But I want to encourage you to write about your everyday life memories. Why, you may ask? Our memories are fleeting and time passes all too quickly. When my children were young I wrote a nightly journal about our kid’s activities and that was priceless. They did the cutest and funniest things and I have much of it documented. What I’m talking about here is looking back to all the events of your life. Each month there will be an idea to work on. I’ll encourage you to comment back and let me know your thoughts, experience and progress.
