Scanning Services
88 Stories is committed to providing professional, cost-effective, scanning services for families. Read more about our professional quality and simple pricing guide.
Professional Quality
PHOTO ALBUMS, SLIDES, NEGATIVES: We scan all size photos and other printed materials (birth notices, cards, newspaper clippings) as well as any size negatives (they will appear just like a normal picture).
We can even scan finished photo albums. Don’t worry, we can scan the photos inside your album and return it to you in the same condition.
You do not need to presort your albums, slides, or negatives. Give your items to one of our local representatives, or mail them to our California office. We'll handle the rest!
PROFESSIONAL TOOLS: We use top-of-the-line, professional-grade equipment, software, and procedures to provide the best resolution digitizations for true to life replications. We have dedicated print scanners in addition to high-resolution, image-correcting negative scanners.
COLOR CORRECTION STANDARD: Our scanners and software work together to provide automatic color and basic scratch restoration. See additional color correction examples.

TIFF / JPEG FILES: You receive two images as a result of our scanning process. First, we scan your images at the highest resolutions and store them as a TIFF image--the highest quality of loss-less image format available. Additionally, we convert your image to a smaller, and more easy to manage JPEG format for use online, digital slide shows, and other personal publishing.
NO OUTSOURCING: Originals are never sent off-shore to preserve the safety and security of all your memories.
Simply Digital, Simply Priced
Digitizing your family media should be as simple as possible. Send us a box of photos, negatives, albums or slides, and we'll handle the rest.
Scanning services are charged by media item:
- 1000 images for $300, or $0.30 an item regardless of image type.
You can set your spending limit by telling us the number of images to scan, the total you want to spend, or just send us one box at a time.
For more information on estimating your project, you can send us a note via our contact page and one of our scanning specialists will contact you.
