  • Artwork and Paintings: Fine art pieces and other artwork often require specialized care. Our team works to preserve the image digitally, allowing you to maintain the essence of the artwork while protecting it from future damage.
  • Artifacts and Memorabilia: Collectible items and other memorabilia can often be fragile. We take extra steps to preserve these objects, whether through specialized scanning or secure storage solutions.

No matter the type of heirloom, WeScanFiles provides expert services tailored to preserve its unique qualities. From precious family photographs to invaluable textiles and artwork, we ensure your memories are safeguarded in the most secure and effective way possible.

Restoring vs. Preserving: When and How to Repair Aging Heirlooms

One of the key considerations in heirloom preservation is deciding when to restore an item and when to simply preserve it in its current state. Not every heirloom requires restoration, sometimes, simply digitizing and storing it properly is the best approach. However, for items suffering from damage due to age, moisture, or mishandling, restoration can help breathe new life into them.

When to Restore:

  • Faded Photographs: Photos that have lost their original color or vibrancy can benefit from professional color restoration. Our team uses advanced techniques to bring out the full richness of the original image.
  • Torn or Damaged Documents: Documents with rips, tears, or creases can be digitally repaired through careful restoration methods. We restore them to their original appearance, preserving both their historical significance and integrity.
  • Water-Damaged Items: Water can cause irreversible damage to photographs, documents, and textiles. We assess the extent of the damage and use the best techniques to restore or preserve the item’s original form.

When to Simply Preserve:

  • Irreplaceable Originals: For some items, preserving the original is the priority. If restoration could compromise the authenticity or integrity of an heirloom, we focus on proper storage and digital preservation to ensure the item remains safe.
  • Minimal Damage: If an heirloom has only minor wear or is simply aging gracefully, we may recommend preserving it digitally without the need for repair.

At WeScanFiles, we make sure to evaluate each heirloom individually and recommend the most appropriate course of action. Our team provides expert advice on whether to restore or simply preserve, ensuring that your heirlooms are treated with the respect and care they deserve.
