EverPresent Acquires Leading Nationwide Film Transfer Company

NEWTON, Mass. — EverPresent, Inc. today announced the acquisition of Just8mm.com. This merger brings together the Northeast’s largest full-service family memories company with the nation’s leading film transfer specialist. For EverPresent, this combination represents a significant strategic shift into the national market.

“Just8mm clients will continue to enjoy the service they are accustomed to preserving their priceless home movies, and on top of that will have new access to best-in-class services to do the rest of their family memories project,” said EverPresent Co-Founder & CEO Eric Niloff.

In just seven years EverPresent has grown from a husband-and-wife basement shop to a 76-person team with 40+ locations throughout the New England and Tri-State areas. The company’s success derives from offering services beyond basic digitizing for VHS tapes, photos and slides - including preservation of delicate scrapbooks, detailed organizing of digital files, family history mini-documentaries, custom-designed family photo and recipe books, and more. EverPresent will now be introducing these special services to Just8mm’s national client base.

Randy York, founder of Just8mm.com, said, “I couldn’t be happier that EverPresent is the group to keep the Just8mm.com tradition going. My employees and I have spent over 15 years building this brand and company, and I wanted it to go to someone who respects what we do. EverPresent is one of the true innovators in our industry. This is a real win for my clients.”

EverPresent has traditionally received over 80% of its business from clients in its home Northeast region, with business coming in via its retail store locations and through in-home services. With this acquisition, 30-40% of EverPresent’s client base will now be spread out nationally.

“We became a company offering nationwide service by accident. People kept finding us,” said Eric. “We looked up and said - ‘we have the procedures in place, we’ve served clients in all 50 states via mail, The Wall Street Journal wrote us up - so let’s just do this.’ Just8mm.com is the perfect way to properly introduce everything we do to a national audience.”

The Just8mm.com website and brand will be maintained for the foreseeable future. All Just8mm.com clients will now be served out of EverPresent’s brand new 16,000+ square foot state-of-the-art lab in Newton, MA.

About EverPresent:
Headquartered just outside of Boston in Newton, Massachusetts, EverPresent was founded in 2012 with the goal of becoming “the leading memories company” for families. EverPresent’s team of over 70 photo organizers, scanning and video transfer technicians, book designers and video editors is trusted across America to digitize irreplaceable old home movies and photos, organize unwieldy digital photo and video collections, and convert these cherished memories into custom books, videos and mini-documentaries.

Preserving Family Memories with EverPresent

empty chairs facing slideshow projector screen

“The inspiration for EverPresent, a Newton-based media digitizing, organizing, and sharing business, began in 2009 when Brookline resident Eric Niloff found a forgotten photo collection in his grandfather’s closet. Subsequent news coverage of teary victims holding photos from albums ruined in various natural disasters reinforced his sense of the widespread need to safely preserve family memories.”
- The Boston Globe

That’s how the Boston Globe kicked off a 2015 interview with our co-founder, Eric. Years later, the only thing that’s changed at EverPresent is the size and scope of our thriving family memories service.

Families are still counting on us to help them preserve the sights and sounds that tell their stories. Our new services and local partnerships make this work easier and more engaging than ever before.

What’s New? StoryBox and Digital Organizing

EverPresent’s StoryBox and Digital Organizing are two exciting new options that go beyond photo scanning and video transfers. Each one is a unique way to relive your own history.

Introducing StoryBox

Digitizing meets storytelling with our all-in-one StoryBox service. Send us your film reels and photo books - and anything else worth preserving - in an elegant box that we provide. We’ll turn it all into digital copies, then set those photos and movies in a video documentary that you can watch and share.

Our favorite part about this service is the audio interview. First, we use your photos and videos to prepare questions for you or the chosen family storytellers. Then we record the answers as high-quality audio files, and use them to narrate the story you want to tell. Imagine watching old films of your grandparents while hearing Nana recall how they fell in love.

Helping You Get Organized

Our Digital Organizing service launched just after this Globe article came out. And it becomes more important every year - in that time, the average family adds another 3,600 photos to their collection without sorting them.

We’ll start by getting rid of unwanted and duplicate photos to make your photo archive smaller. Then the magic happens - we can sort your photos by date, use face-tagging to identify your friends and family, and even add keywords that make specific photos easy to search for. The end result is a library that stores thousands of pictures but takes only seconds to search for the ones you want to see.

Similar services rely on computer programs to cut corners and automate the organizing process. What sets us apart is our people. EverPresent’s personal organizers take time and care to look at each one of your photos before making any changes to your archive.

Local Photo Scanning and Video Transfers in the Northeast

What sets our service apart is not just what you can get - it’s where you can get it. We’ve partnered with dozens of local businesses to preserve family memories throughout New England and the Tri-State Area.

Maybe you live too far from our HQ, or don’t want to send these priceless items in the mail (we get it). Simply bring your pictures and home movies to any one of these art galleries or custom frame shops. We’ll pick them up, convert them to digital, and return the originals along with your new digital copies on hard drives or DVDs when your project is done.

There are too many reasons to put off preserving your memories: ‘I can’t find the time,’ ‘my photos won’t fit in the car,’ we’ve heard it all. EverPresent’s in-home consultations make the process as easy as possible. Your personal consultant can meet you at home, help you set goals for your project, and bring your photos and videos directly to our production office for digitizing. This service is ideal for large, multigenerational family legacy projects. When it’s all done, we’ll drop off your things right back at your home.

Still Saving Family Pictures and Home Movies

media formats for everpresent digitizing

In the spirit of preserving the past, EverPresent stays true to our roots despite our recent growth. We’re still the experts in digitizing standard analog media and the true national leader in converting rare media formats.

It doesn’t matter if you have a shoebox of loose photos or an attic full of VHS tapes, a milk crate of vinyl records or an Utz pretzel jar of 35mm negatives (it’s a New England thing). We’ve spent years building the right arsenal of gear and expertise to save any piece of history that comes our way.

We hope you reach out with any questions to find out if any of our services, old or new, might be the right for you. Check out Eric’s full interview with the Boston Globe for a better sense of just how far we’ve come!

EverPresent Adds More Local Partnerships in the Northeast

map of everpresent local partner region

EverPresent is proud to announce new relationships with 16 local businesses across the Northeast. These additions put us at more than 40 unique partner stores throughout New England and the Tri-State Area.

Local families can bring their aging media to the nearest store for unmatched convenience and customer service. We will promptly pick up, digitize and return these memories along with digital copies on DVDs or USB drives.

Our new ties include art galleries, custom framers and local art hubs in the following areas:

New England

Massachusetts

We’ve added three new stores in the Boston area and one on the North Shore. Stanhope Framers, a decades-old frame shop specializing in eco-friendly materials, runs our Back Bay and Cambridge locations. You’ll also find EverPresent Boston at Around the Corner Framing, a Tremont Street gem that offers museum-quality frames for your artwork.

A bit further north is our store in Manchester-by-the-Sea, led by Nor’east Frameworks owner Chuck. From framing to repairs and preservation, NE Frameworks is your one-stop shop for all things art on the North Shore.

We're headquartered outside of Boston and have a long history of preserving family memories in our community. It's at the heart of what we do. We have too many partners in Massachusetts to list them all here, but you can visit our locations page to find our other stores in the state.

New Hampshire

Families in the Upper Valley region connecting Vermont and New Hampshire will love our friends at The Gilded Edge Frame Shop & Gallery in Lebanon. This partner for EverPresent Upper Valley features a gorgeous selection of affordable and high-end frames that preserve art and fit your budget.

Stop by to leave your family memories with Rob, the owner! Families closer to Manchester, Portsmouth, and Salem can always visit our established partners in those areas.

Vermont

Our new Vermont stores are the latest and most exciting additions - they mark our official presence in every New England state to serve local families!

Vermonters who aren’t near the Upper Valley still have two convenient local spots to bring their family photos and videos. Our Brattleboro drop-off is at Lotus Graphics, one of the few EverPresent partners that also offers high-quality printing and photocopy services.

Just an hour out from the Canadian border is EverPresent Northern VT in South Burlington. Vermont Frame Game boasts the biggest selection of custom frame moldings in the whole state. They’ll even turn your physical prints and artwork into laminated plaques for long-term preservation.

Connecticut

Another excellent partner joins our stores in Hartford, New London and Darien to help save Connecticut families’ history.

New Haven’s Da Silva Gallery is the new EverPresent Southern CT. The Gallery’s been supplying southern Connecticut with custom framing solutions and full-service art installations for years, and we’re beyond proud of this local partnership with them. Owner Gabriel and his team are ready to secure your priceless family memories for EverPresent’s top-shelf digitizing services.

NOTE: While there aren’t any new stores in Maine or Rhode Island, our partners in Portland and Providence continue to serve families in these states.

Tri-State Area

new york city

New York

Beyond our Capital District drop-off - and expanding our reach from Nyack and Westchester County - EverPresent is committed to serving the diverse communities in and around New York City.

We have three new Long Island locations. Long Island Picture Frame and Art Gallery conveniently offers two drop-off spots, one at Massapequa Park and another in Oyster Bay. Their name says it all. Also serving Long Island is The Blue Door Gallery in Riverhead, NY, where you’ll find local artwork on sale and many custom frame options.

EverPresent New Rochelle is our second and newest partner in Westchester County. Backstreet Gallery offers decades of expertise in framing, restoring, and printing artwork.

Claude of Astoria Art & Custom Framing brings traditional skills and decades of experience to EverPresent Queens. This partner is a choice resource for framing, molding, needlepoint and even furniture restoration.

We’ve also joined New York City’s thriving art scene via EverPresent Manhattan at Chelsea Frames. It’s an art display and preservation hub that’s earned national recognition. Your family legacy is in good hands here.

New Jersey

After kicking off in New Jersey with stores in Bergen and Morris Counties, we loved the families here so much that we had to meet more. So we recently launched three locations in New Jersey’s Middlesex, Essex and Somerset Counties.

EverPresent Essex County is in Montclair at MSC Custom Picture Framing, whose experts focus on finding the best framing options to make artwork shine. Further south, B. Beamesderfer Gallery in Highland Park is our partner for EverPresent Middlesex County. Their valuable services range from high-quality framing to local art exhibits.

Last but not least, EverPresent Somerset County helps locals preserve family memories by working with Beveled Edge in Warren. They use special framing materials like exotic woods and UV glass to display and protect your art.

Convenient Drop-Off Locations for Everyone

Most folks in the Northeast are no more than an hour away from an EverPresent partner, and everyone is in our service area for our in-home consultation services.

There is, however, one downside to all of this convenience: no more excuses for not preserving your priceless family memories. The next time you’re in the neighborhood, feel free to stop by!

Preserving memories for future generations

Family photos and videos should be a source of enjoyment, but too often are a source of stress. We worry about old albums and home movies getting damaged or lost over time. We feel overwhelmed by cluttered digital collections scattered across cameras, phones and computers. We think about what could go wrong, but rarely act, leaving us unable to share memories with loved ones, and pass on what matters most.

For many of us, dealing with our photos and videos has been on the to-do list, but options have been limited. Fortunately, families can now rely on professional companies for help with this undertaking.

EverPresent working to preserve memories, fight digital clutter

Nov 19, 2014 – When Eric S. Niloff came across his 91-year-old grandfather’s collection of World War II-era photographs, he and his wife took it upon themselves to organize and preserve them for their family.

“It took literally over 100 hours. We said, ‘Why isn’t there a real company that will actually work with families to secure their history?’” Niloff said in a recent interview.

And that’s how they got the idea for their business, EverPresent.

Brookline couple's business digitally archives clients' memories

It was like a high-tech "Gift of the Magi." A few days before last Christmas, a couple came into EverPresent’s Newton office separately to create a Christmas present for each other. The husband was giving his wife a slideshow about her 40th birthday, and she was giving him a digitized version of a scrapbook he created for his family. They wanted to surprise each other on Christmas Eve.

To pick up the gift, they would come in a day or two before Christmas, and Jennifer Niloff, co-founder of the company, had to time it so they wouldn’t be in at the same time. It became a Christmas secret mission. Just one glitch: The man and woman each came in with their 9-year-old son.
