Preserving Michigan's history since 1924
We specialize in scanning services for archiving that preserve the history of your business or organization. Are your company memories languishing unseen on old technology?
The photographs, negatives, slides, film and tape holding your organization's history are
deteriorating right now, and unlike the originals, that damage doesn't reverse.
We digitize them and deliver files your team can actually use — viewable on any modern
device, easy to share, and simple to back up in more than one place.
Museums and historical societies bring us material that exists in exactly one copy —
prints, negatives, and reels nobody has been able to view in decades.
Digitizing does more than protect the original. It makes a collection searchable,
shareable, and usable by researchers and the public, often for the first time.
A digital copy stops the clock. Heat, humidity, and handling can't degrade a file
the way they degrade an original print or reel.
We deliver your archive organized and clearly labeled, ready to drop into your own
storage and backup — and we'll agree on delivery format with you before we start.
Every archive is different. Before you hand over anything irreplaceable, we'll look at what you have, talk through formats and handling, and give you a written quote. There's no charge for the consultation or the quote.
Nearly all work is done in our own Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield facilities. Specialty audio and movie reels go to a partner lab we've worked with for decades, and we'll tell you up front if anything in your collection falls into that category.
Hite Photo + The Print Refinery® has been professionally preserving memories for over 100 years. Using a trusted local expert is the safest way to protect your one-of-a-kind family memories.
Digitizing services are completed inside both our Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield, MI facilities.
