This is a belated review, but one nonetheless, offering praise to Millenial Scans. Our family had…read morean offbeat request. We had three copies of a book put together by a former family member and distributed to just three family members with the hope that they would share it with others. While the book was not "ancient", still, it was put together in the 1990s when the internet was barely in existence and was comprised of cut out newspaper articles from various countries in various languages, old and new pictures, and photocopied pictures of poor quality. It also held written memories of people then alive whose families had come to the US surreptitiously to avoid being killed in their home countries. They came with very little money, just hope in their hearts. The author's own family had a member who hid in a hay wagon with her tiny son knowing that as she crossed the border, border guards would thrust pitch forks into the hay to ensure that no humans were hiding there. But the people came, stowing away on ships, having bought the cheapest tickets available so they rode in steerage, arriving in the US with no English skills and no promise of work. They simply had the small savings they could carry with them, their clothing, and the hope that the US would offer a better life than the life they would have in their home countries. That was the information that these three books held. I took one of those books, which was professionally bound in the 1990s to the very same book binder who had bound the book and asked him to unbind it knowing that he would then need to bind it again so that it looked untouched. Once he unbound the book, it was up to me to get it to a person who would scan it. I chose Millenial Scans. I cannot tell you why. There are numerous scanning companies recommended by Yelp. I simply picked Millenial Scans and contacted them. This led to a meeting in Santa Monica to show Nika, who started Millenial Scans, the book in issue. This was followed by another meeting in Marina Del Rey set up as a telephone meeting with Nika, her father, who is an IT specialist, and a family member of mine who is also an IT-savvy individual. We discussed what needed to be done. We wanted a bit of the impossible. We had old, delicate news clippings in various languages. These would all need to be scanned and OCRed so that people could search words and find them in the various documents in the various languages. All documents would have to be carefully handled. I had to fully trust Millenial Scans. At the end of the meetings, I gave them the disassembled book, feeling great anxiety about my choice. But, it was needless anxiety. Millenial Scans understood what a delicate and challenging project they had. In several weeks, they had completed the task and sent to me the electronic copy of the book. I was relieved to have the project over, or so I thought, and took the book parts back to the book binder for reassembly. He did an exceptional job. Millenial Scans had not damaged any of the material. When Millenial Scans sent me the electronic copy of the book, I was warned that the copy would only be available for a set time. I would have to download a copy by that time, and if there were questions, contact them. I left for Europe with the electronic copy ready to review. I was going to be there for quite a while. Unfortunately, given events that happened in Europe, I lost track of time, and when I finally arrived back in the US, I realized that I had not downloaded the file. I was clearly beyond the time limit. I tried to download the file but had no success. I could not believe that I had missed this deadline date. Desperate, but somewhat accepting of the fact that I would have to go through the scanning project again, I contacted Milenial Scans. This was right before Thanksgiving, and I told them what had happened. They immediately got back to me and said they would try to get me a copy of the order but would not contact me until after Thanksgiving. We did connect then, and I was overwhelmed with what they told me. They were able to get another copy of the book!!! I downloaded it immediately and sent it off to relatives. The book could be copied again for another set term. What can I say? There are not enough stars to recommend Millenial Scans. This family-owned business treats you like family. For what more can you ask? Thank you Millenial Scans.

I looked all over for a place that could help me with this process. Where other companies fell short, Nika exceeded my expectations. She accepted all 26 albums with hundreds of photos in each and returned them in perfect condition. She even worked around photos that were stuck with old glue. She offered flexible pick-up and drop-off times, texted progress updates, and allowed me to use my own USB to store my digital copies. Her company also scans the front and back of every photo, while providing an auto enhanced copy of each photo without additional charge. Other companies over charged or required extensive requirements to accept photos. Millennial Scans was friendly, professional, and efficient. I would trust Nika with my life and look forward to working with them again.

My family had several old films and cassettes that had been in storage for decades, and the Advanced Media team were able to quickly and efficiently transfer them to a hard drive, where they can now be shared with everyone in my family without fear of the original film deteriorating. More importantly, my family can retain our connection with our past -- and the family members who are no longer with us. If you happen to have old films and videos like this lying around, having them professionally transferred to a digital medium strengthens family bonds - it's such a joy to see younger versions of your siblings, parents, grandparents, and other family during candid moments from the past. The group at Advanced Media is the prime choice to take these precious memories. In terms of service, Nimrod was very clear regarding the timetable and cost for transferring our films. The cost was incredibly reasonable, and I felt much more comfortable giving our precious memories to an actual person and supporting a brick-and-mortar L.A. store, as opposed to shipping them to some anonymous and expensive transfer service. In short, expect professionalism and timely service from the Advanced Media team. I fully endorse them and expect to use them to transfer any further batches of film, VHS or Hi8 tapes in the future.

A few details I want to say: In addition to getting a harddrive with all of the high quality scans, I received all of my photos back in 3 archival photo boxes that were also labeled and organized. I wanted to have all of the photos in iCloud, and they were extremely easy to work with on setting that up, so now all of those older family photos are in my iPhone in date order. I can just scroll back all the way, and share them with anyone in my family. They are competent, professional, knowledgeable and so nice! I can't wait to start another project with them making a printed photo album.
