Another satisfied client! Video Tape Transfers in New Haven, CT
“EverPresent is very professional and does high quality work. They nailed it from start to finish. Phone interaction, turn around time, and most importantly, the work they did was top notch. I had 2 hi8 videos put on CD and am now going back to them for help fixing a couple of old cassette tapes and putting them on CD. I highly recommend!”

I am thrilled to have my wonderful memories
“I had a great experience with Everpresent. I have to admit, I was very nervous about sending my very precious vhs tapes away, but Everpresent was very efficient and the process went along exactly as explained. The drop off/pick up location was at a nearby mall which was very convenient. I am thrilled to have my wonderful memories on a USB drive so that I can easily watch them.”

Reviews from Connecticut Digitizing Clients
An Unexpected Visit to the Family’s Past from Darien, CT
“Great experience! I had old family film, I had no idea what it was or where to start researching it. EverPresent made it simple and before I knew it I was watching a DVD of family film taken in the 70’s.. SO COOL!”
5 stars, John, Darien, CT

Priceless Video Tapes Digitized in Hartford, CT
Absolutely pleased with the exceptional work Everpresent did, my mother handed me two VHS video tapes with 60 years of family history which she wanted to see if I could have them professionally done by a company and wanted them transferred to a DVD or a MP3 file, Everpresent is the place, the attention to detail and work done to specifications from me as a customer absolutely superb, thank you very much Everpresent. Everpresent will be highly recommended to family and friends, once again thank you.

Audio tape war memories revisited in Darien, CT
“Copied a 50 year old reel to reel audio tape taped by me while I was in Vietnam. Was recorded on Christmas night 1967 when our base came under a small arms and mortar attack. I now have a CD that I can listen to as my old recorder has long since retired. Great job and reasonable cost for a long time memory.”

Film to Digital – An Unforgettable Gift from Hartford, CT
“I had 5 reels of 8 mm film converted to digital as a gift to my 88 year old dad. I also shared it with the rest of my family, including a cousin that is battling cancer right now. Needless to say, the memories preserved had an amazing impact for us. Everpresent did a great job – staff were very helpful and handled my materials so very carefully. I felt a lot better personally dropping it off rather than boxing it up and sending it to some unknown location like so many other services do. The follow up and communication was great – turn around time was excellent and the price was right! I highly recommend them and plan to get more reels done in the near future!”
– 5 Stars, Wendy R. Hartford, CT
A Family Archive Digitized and Shared in Hartford, CT
“My father took many precious 16mm films of our family when we were young and we longed to view them again and share them with our children. Thanks to EverPresent, we were able to relive those wonderful memories. They took 1200 ft. of film and copied them onto a thumbdrive. The quality is excellent, the service very professional, and we plan to bring another batch to EverPresent this month. We couldn’t be happier!”

Connecticut’s Connections to Photography and Film
How long has your family had ties with Connecticut? Whether you are new to the area, or a nutmeg native, check out these fun facts to learn how photography and the Constitution State helped shape and influence each other.
How long can you keep your kids still for? While you are enjoying your children’s newly digitized school photos, take a moment to be grateful they didn’t have to stay unmoving for minutes just to get the shot. The early photography method called daguerreotypy required subjects to sit or stand completely still for several minutes at a time.
Edward Land, the inventor of the first Polaroid camera was born in Connecticut.
Polaroids were the first type of “instant” photography- where you could see the results of your photo develop right before your eyes- no processing or darkroom required. Digital photography changed the face of instant photography, so these unique photos are one of the fews you can’t share copies of. If your friends want copies of your Instax, we can scan polaroids and instant film images of all shapes and sizes, for unlimited sharing with your pals.
Lee de Forest, a Yale alumni, invented a vacuum tube that made radio possible.
This profound inventor also patented “Phonofilm” which was the advent of the “talkies.”
While George N Barnard, from Coventry, CT, took some of the first “news” photographs after he took pictures of a grainery fire.
Barnard also photographed Lincoln’s inauguration, but is actually best known for his American Civil War photographs. Some of the most interesting photos we get to scan are vintage images which depict significant events of the past.
One of the best known modern photographers, known for her celebrity portraits, was born in Waterbury, Connecticut.
If you have an extensive vinyl collection to digitize chances are one of the album covers was shot by Annie Leibovitz. She was the last person to photograph John Lennon, and created the image for Bruce Springsteen’s iconic Born in the USA album.
Margaret Bourke-White is credited with immensely influencing the style of photojournalistic photography. She shot for Fortune Magazine (being their first female photographer), and a cover story LIFE magazine, and captured one of the most iconic images of Gandhi. In her retirement, she spent her later years of life at her home in Darien.
The first statewide aerial survey occurred in Connecticut.
Do your vacation photos include pictures out of an airplane window? Sponsored by the government for surveillance, pilots and photographers flew over the entire state at exactly the same height and ultimately compiled over 10,000 images to create a mosaic map. Now that’s a lot of image stitching for one blueprint!
There are no photographs of the famous “Charter Oak” tree while it was still standing.
The Charter Oak collapsed in a storm in 1856, ending the reign of the centuries old tree. While there are many paintings and depictions of the tree while it still survived, the only known photos were taken the day it fell, by a photographer named Nelson Augustus Moore. Do your family photos contain any significant landmarks of CT? Getting photos scanned can help you simply and share genealogy research on your family and hometown photos.
Charles Ives, the official composer of Connecticut, was one of the first American composers to gain international rapport.
Recognized as a key figure of 20th century music this pioneer was born in Danbury, and studied music at Yale. Having worked in the 1930’s, his original orchestra recordings would be found on reel-to-reel sound tapes.
EverPresent brings your photographs “Back to the Future.”
Did you know that Christopher Llyod, who plays Doc Brown in the Back to the Future series, was born in Stamford, and raised in Westport?
