A Satisfied 8mm Film Conversion Customer from Burlington, VT
EverPresent was awesome, they quickly converted my parents’ old 8mm film reels to several MP4 files. The process was super easy, I dropped off my 8mm film reels at a participating mall location, and an EverPresent courier picked up my reels to transport to their facilities. About two weeks later, I got a phone call indicating that my film reels and MP4 were ready for pickup at my mall location. Overall A+ service, and I’ll definitely be coming back if I need more film reels converted.

Vermont Home & Office Pickup Service
Doorstep Pickups are Available. Ask about optional Zoom organizing sessions.
Vermont families have a deep history, and with it can come many tubs and boxes of photo albums, slide carousels and VHS tapes. We’re happy to drive to any corner of Vermont to help with the heavy lifting. Doorstep pickups are easily scheduled based on the schedule below. You will get a call before your appointment so you can let us know exactly where you left your project (doorstep, porch, etc) and we will safely pick it up. Everything is packed in weatherproof bins and barcoded before being taken to our state-of-the-art lab for processing.
Once we have your materials at our studio, everything is evaluated in advance of a detailed phone consultation. But some clients prefer more preparation in advance. If so, please don’t by shy to request a virtual appointment. One of our senior consultants will schedule a Zoom call with you to offer their expertise and to simplify the process of organizing and preparing for digitizing. Afterward, we will schedule a doorstep pickup to safely take the material to our lab and bring it back when the project is wrapped up.

Above is a photo of Burlington, Vermont from 1865. This image is one of many that was pulled from old stereo view pictures, which was intended to be viewed with a device that gave it a 3D effect.
During the 1800s, Burlington, Vermont was the 3rd largest lumber port in the country. Every shred of land was used for lumber storage and other commercial endeavors. This demand for space led to the eventual expansion of land by filling in the shore of the Burlington waterfront. In the past, this was a sandy crescent that stretched on for quite a distance. This practice of expansion actually continued into the 1950s.
Try to remember the photo from above when you visit our partner store in Burlington, Vermont. Imagine a lot less land and a large body of water to compare to now. Having a historical photo like above is great to see how time changes things.

VERMONT’S EARLY CONNECTIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographer Samuel A. Bemis (1793 – 1881) was born in Marlboro, VT and has ties to both Boston and New Hampshire. His brief career in photography began after he spontaneously purchased an early version Daguerreotype camera in 1840. During the winter of 1841 he began photographing scenes around Boston. The following summer he relocated to New Hampshire where he continued his photography, capturing images of the White Mountains around Crawford Notch. He would go on to abandon photography altogether the following year, moving on to pursue other interests. Despite the brevity of his contribution, Bemis is credited as one of earliest photographers in the country and the first American to photograph natural landscapes.
The First Copper Mine
The first copper mine in the country operated in Strafford, VT, from 1793 through the 1950s.
Did you know that daguerreotypes, one of the earliest photography techniques, commonly made use of copper?
The daguerreotype became the first publicly available photographic process in the early 1840s. It was used commonly through the 1860s until being replaced somewhat suddenly but less expensive and more reliable photographic forms.
The Daguerreotype process started with a thin metal plate, usually copper, which was then coated and polished with a layer of silver. This was the foundation to which light sensitive chemicals would eventually be applied, exposed to light, and developed.
Perhaps it is unsurprising that Vermont was home to Wilson Bently, the first known photographer of snowflakes. He is credited with perfecting the delicate technique of collecting snowflakes in a way that allowed them to be clearly photographed.
Born 1865 in Jericho, VT, Bently was fascinated with snow crystals as a boy. As a teenager he attempted to hand draw the shape of the snowflakes he placed under his microscope. Unfortunately he soon discovered the images were too complex to completely copy before the snowflakes melted. This eventually led him to attach a bellows camera to the microscope so that images could instead be photographed.
Though the snowflakes could now be photographed the challenge remained in how to collect the snowflakes and present them in such a way that they did not either melt or sublimate. Initially this involved collecting snowflakes on a blackboard and immediately transferring them to a microscope slide. Bently eventually refined the process instead catching and photographing the snowflakes on a section of black velvet.
By the end of his career he had developed a catalog consisting of hundreds of thousands snowflake and ice crystal images. His work was so successful that for nearly 100 years after his work hardly anyone bothered to photograph snowflakes. On a somewhat related note, Bentley was also one of the first people to argue for the idea that no two snowflakes are alike.
A Vermont Romance
One of the earliest films shot in Vermont was a silent-era film from 1916 titled ‘A Vermont Romance.’ The film tells the story of a down on her luck young woman who moves to Burlington to start a new life. The film was shot on site in Burlington and offers glimpses of the city as it was over a century ago. Scenes include images of structures that can still be recognized today.
