Helpline: Saving Photos from Weather Disasters
Friend,
Are your photos at Risk? Ask a Photo Archivist (Free Helpline) to Protect Your Photos Before the Next Storm Hits.
When disaster strikes, people grab two things: loved ones… and photo albums. But by then, it's often too late. That’s why ScanMyPhotos launched the National PhotoCare Helpline today. It is a free online service to help people protect their most irreplaceable possessions: their photos.
Powered by ScanMyPhotos.com, this lifeline connects people with real photo archivists (not bots) who give fast, plain-English advice to rescue pictures from:
Hurricanes
Floods
Wildfires
Tornadoes and more
Why now? “We always hear the same thing after a disaster,” says Mitch Goldstone, Chief Photo Archivist at ScanMyPhotos, “I procrastinated… and everything was ruined.”
Ahead of another brutal weather season, this new national service is helping protect something most people forget until it’s too late.
Why it matters: One of our rescue projects involved scanning 347,000 negatives to preserve a country's 57-year history… just before a major hurricane struck.
"After 35 years of helping families preserve a billion pictures, we’ve seen what happens when memories are lost. It’s devastating. The questions we receive are frantic, emotional, and urgent," said Goldstone.
