ARCHIVAL
A master for the years ahead.
A WAV preservation master plus MP3 digital audio files. Cassette and microcassette Archival service also includes more detailed cleanup and straightforward track splitting where identifiable. Extensive restoration is quoted separately.
File specifications & service details
MP3 files are 320 kbps. Analog Archival transfers include an unprocessed 48 kHz / 24-bit WAV master. Audio CD masters retain their original 44.1 kHz / 16-bit quality; conversion does not improve the source. More detailed noise and hiss reduction for cassette and microcassette Archival transfers is applied to digital audio files. Cleanup results depend on the original recording.
Both services include careful handling, return of your originals, and 30-day digital download through your project’s shared folder. Follow individual items in your customer dashboard. Blank or unplayable media has no conversion charge. Extensive restoration, repairs, and detailed track identification are quoted separately.
Reel-to-reel: ¼-inch four-track stereo recordings on reels up to 7 inches, at 3¾ or 7½ inches per second (ips). We do not accept 1⅞ or 15 ips recordings, 10½-inch reels, full-track or half-track recordings, or multitrack studio tapes for this service. We confirm tape format, condition and service availability before booking. Repairs, tape baking and extensive restoration are not included; tapes needing specialist treatment are assessed before any work.
Audio and video preservation can be combined toward the existing $200 qualifying subtotal for complimentary local pickup and delivery within either designated service area.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
A few good
questions.
What is the difference between Standard and Archival?
Standard includes 320 kbps MP3 listening files. Archival adds an unprocessed WAV preservation master: 48 kHz/24-bit for analog recordings; audio CDs retain their original 44.1 kHz/16-bit quality. Cassette and microcassette Archival digital audio files also include more detailed cleanup and straightforward track splitting where identifiable.
Will you remove every hiss, click or damaged section?
Cleanup depends on the original recording. Basic noise reduction is applied where appropriate; extensive restoration and repairs require assessment and a separate quote. No transfer can guarantee a perfect or like-new result.
Can I combine audio with home movies or photos?
Yes. Mix media and service tiers in the same project. Eligible preservation charges count together toward the $200 complimentary local pickup threshold after discounts and before tax.
When will my recordings be available?
Follow individual item progress in your private dashboard. Paid, quality-checked files are made available after upload through your project’s digital delivery. Download access is included for 30 days; originals are returned. Premium branded USB delivery starts at $29 (64 GB), plus applicable tax.
A REAL PERSON. CLOSE TO HOME.
Local care.
Every step.
I’m Kris Green. After almost three decades in video and photography, I know these are more than recordings. They’re the voices, faces and ordinary moments that make up your family’s story.
