Legacybox sends an extra sheet of barcode stickers in case you find that you have more analog media than you planned for, and will invoice you separately for these additional items (I ended up with two extra bags of photos). I used small recyclable snack bags for the slides and the photos that I sent in. Tapes, cassettes, and film reels require one barcode each, whereas slides or photo prints must be packaged into bags of 25 before being labeled. As you barcode each piece of media, you input the name of it into your Legacybox account so that they know how to label what you send in. The welcome guide was easy to follow and clearly explained how to use the barcode stickers to label each piece of media that you want the company to digitize. Inside the Legacybox kit are several sheets of barcode stickers, a step-by-step welcome guide, and a pre-paid UPS shipping label. The actual "Legacybox" arrives inside an outer shipping box, which you also use to return your full-of-memories box back to be digitized-and that they then use again to return your media back to you when it's done. Once you place your order, Legacybox sends you a nice big box that contains everything you need to get started. No need to unearth a slide projector now that all of my family photos are easy to access on my computer. I tried the 20-item Closet kit, and added the digital download, thumb drive, and DVD set. Legacybox also offers the option for secure, long-term cloud storage for $35.88 per year. In addition to the cost of the kit, you'll pay another $39.99 for each type of digital media you want in return: digital download, thumb drive, or DVD set. Legacybox offers several different digitizing kits, and the cost depends on which you select. Whether you've got a basement full of 16mm family movies, or your old mixtapes from high school, you can send them off to Legacybox and they'll digitize them for you. Legacybox takes your outdated analog media and transfers it to a digital format. I requested a digitizing kit right away, and got ready to relive my youth. In an almost entirely digital world, how exactly does one go about turning obsolete analog media into watchable content? Enter Legacybox, a company that digitizes old tapes, photos, reels, and audio. When I was cleaning out my garage in preparation for moving houses in a few weeks, I finally decided that it was time to deal with my cardboard box of shame. I've moved that cardboard box across the country, across an ocean, and back again, and, until just a few weeks ago, I had no idea what was even inside the box. How I know that I've reached peak "mom" status: I've been toting around a cardboard box full of old video tapes and family photos for over 10 years.
