Breaking: France Digitization Modernizes to Preserve French Family Heritage
France Digitization, a leader in the digitization of analog media, announces substantial upgrades to its service and plans for expansion. The company, established near Bordeaux over 35 years ago, specializes in converting VHS cassettes, film reels, and slides into digital formats. This update is set to significantly boost accessibility for families aiming to preserve their rich audiovisual heritage.
The Heritage pilote ration – Making Memories Last
Julien Massé, the new CEO, emphasizes the significance of the task at hand. “Each Frenchman has, tucked away in their drawers, an invaluable audiovisual treasure retracing the history of their family,” Massé asserts. France Digitization’s mission is to preserve these precious memories before they are lost to time.
A Turning Point for Digitization
Two years ago, Massé, a former salesperson, took over the reins of the company, steering it towards modernization while retaining its artisanal integrity. The firm is now focused on expanding its network of partners to include photographers, paper mills, and other service providers to further its reach throughout France.
Innovative, Turnkey Solutions
Leveraging over 800 partners nationwide, France Digitization offers a seamless, turnkey solution for digitizing old media. Customers can estimate the cost online, choose a nearby deposit point, and receive their digitized memories on USB keys, Cloud storage, or DVD servers within a few weeks. The goal is to ensure every household in France can access these scanning services within 15 minutes of their home.
Preserving Family Legacies
With a monumental task of converting 40,000 cassettes, 20,000 film reels, and 160,000 slides annually, France Digitization is vital in safeguarding French family heritages. The company connects families to their past and has ambitions to forge new partnerships with communities and cinematheques, extending its impact even further.
Embracing Technology
France Digitization is innovation to enhance its services. While AI is employed sparingly to retouch and improve photographs without distortion, its use for videos has been deferred due to unsatisfactory results. The firm remains committed to leveraging technology to deliver superior, authentic digital copies of cherished memories.
Why It Matters
Digitizing old media is not just about convenience; it’s about preserving history. As media formats degrade over time, converting them to digital formats ensures they endure. “What we do affects emotion, heritage. This is what makes this job so strong and inspiring,” Massé concludes.
