Salvaged Archives Sources: estate sales, donations & ebay. Services: digitizing 35mm slides, 8mm films, VHS, VHSC & MiniDV (Hi8). inquiries: [email protected]

I digitize 35mm slides, 8mm films, VHS and photos for a hobby. If you have these sitting around collecting dust wondering what's on them, I can transfer them to a flash drive and return everything when done. I've offered this service to many people in Milwaukee since 2020. If you're interested, send me an email ([email protected]) including what you want transferred. Too many of these time capsules never see the light of day anymore or worse, discarded like garbage.

Kodachrome slide: Tucson, AZ - Miracle Mile, 1960.

A vivid nighttime view along North Oracle Road, where neon ruled the roadside. Texaco’s “Last Frontier” Fire-Chief sign glows beside the Standard Theatre and classic coffee shop signage, capturing the height of mid-century Tucson’s car-culture corridor, built to stop travelers in their tracks.

8mm film: Wisconsinites getting very social during a Christmas & New Year’s Eve party, 1969.

Ties loosened by 8:17.
Eggnog spiked by someone’s uncle. Ashtrays working overtime. Flirting conducted in hushed Midwestern tones.

Somewhere between “Silent Night” and midnight, at least three people forgot where their coats were.. and nobody was asking too many questions.

8mm film from 'Man and His World' in Montreal. This was the continuation of Expo 67, where the pavilions and fairgrounds stayed alive well into the ’70s.
