Paper does not last forever. I've known of people who stored paperwork and books only to return a year later to bug and rat eaten pages, water damage, and someone even told me they had a box of books literally turn to dust. Here are a few ideas and services that I offer. I can perform these services in person at my hourly rate (see Pricing) or you can ship or bring them to me and I can scan your items in my office (see Virtually Treasured).
* Scan documents that you have to keep but don't plan to actually need or use (like IRS tax documents).
* Scan files that you may wish to revisit, but don't need the bulk of paper.
* Scan files to create a usable sharable library. (Music or learning handouts are a good example)
* Scan photographs. Old photographs will continue to disintegrate. Preserve them before it's too late.
* Scan slides and negatives before they are faded and scratched.
* Create Excel spreadsheets to organize numbers or the usable library you scanned above.
* There are sharable documents online that can allow multiple users access to spreadsheets like Excel.
* Save the documents and photos to discs or hard drives.
* Archive things to an FTP server for safe keeping.
* Share files by designing a website that makes the files accessible.
* Finally, recycle all of that paper!!!
