Specialist digitisation of photographs, slides, negatives and albums -
from careful handling and high-resolution capture to an organised digital
collection that retains the information and context around your photographs.
From one inherited album to thousands of slides, each collection is handled
with the same care and attention.
Digitise your family photographs - and keep their stories connected.
Whether you are preserving your own lifetime of photographs, helping a
parent with a significant collection, or finally doing something with
boxes of prints, slides, negatives and albums that have been waiting for
years, knowing where to begin can feel completely overwhelming.
Digitisation is a powerful way to preserve a family collection,
but the way it is done matters.
At Your Photo Legacy, digitisation is treated as part of the family archive -
not as a standalone scanning job. That means careful handling, professional
capture, meaningful organisation and close attention to the names, dates and
stories that give the photographs their value.

Professional photo, slide and negative digitisation in Melbourne
You don't simply receive a folder full of scans.
You receive an organised digital collection, with meaningful filenames,
accurate dates where known or supplied, and a clear structure that
corresponds with the way your physical material is labelled and rehoused.
The physical and digital collections remain connected - making your
photographs easier to find, understand, preserve and pass on.
Organised, labelled and connected.
I've spent more than a decade working with photographic collections at the
State Library of Victoria and the British Library,
digitising and handling a wide range of material including
glass plate negatives, lantern slides, albums, loose photographs and
other historically significant photographic formats.
That experience shaped the way I work today: with precision, respect for the
original material and a strong understanding of how image quality, file
organisation and preservation fit together.
Digitisation sits at the intersection of so much of what I love:
careful handling, photographic quality, family history and helping
people bring meaningful collections back into view.
More than a decade of professional digitisation experience.
We work together to establish your personalised file naming and folder structure, identify key dates, events and locations to support accurate naming and context.

Advice on storing originals, with archival rehousing where included in
your project. A consistent naming and labelling system connects the physical collection with its digital counterpart - so the labels on your boxes and folders correspond with the way your digital files are organised.
Your collection is returned to you, and the digital images delivered on a drive and, where selected,
through a private online family gallery.
A considered process, from collection to return.
