Consumer Photo Restoration

Your Beautiful Faded Memories...

Your memories are priceless. Images of days gone by, revisited in photographs of the past. Let us help you bring those images back to life.

The Archives began with the pioneering restoration of the works of Milton H. Greene. Milton's photographs had deteriorated beyond repair. In Milton's photo of Marilyn Monroe to the right, you can see an image of Marilyn before the restoration and after.

"Layer by layer, Marilyn as we remember her emerges from the pale, faded shadow of time. She is [once again] captivating, bewildered, childlike and sensuous."

...and Personally handled with Caring Expertise.

You can relax... knowing your antique, collectable, or genealogy photographs are in the hands of professionals with over 20 years experience in photographic restoration.

Our clients include professional photographers, private collectors, and fine art museums worldwide. As well as some folks at the local market, a few guys at the firehouse, and family and friends. The photo to the right was restored for a local client here in Florence, Oregon. The original was cleaned, scanned and restored. Notice the tape, scratches and tears in the original.

There are quite a few restoration services popping up on the internet today... yet there are very few restoration experts with the aptitude, experience and acclaim of The Archives.

What's more? Your restored photo will be printed with HP Designjet printers and UV inks on Hahnemühle media. This archival print solution is exclusive to The Archives. The resulting images are scientifically projected to have a life span of over 200 years.

What do our customers say? Just ask Kimberly Kwan:

"Dear Archives,

A few weeks ago we sent you a large, hand-painted photo of my husband's parents when they were married in China in 1956. It is one of only a handful of photographs that made it to the US when they immigrated in 1963, so it is a valuable treasure to all of us. We just received our restored photo and prints in the mail - WOW! We sent the original to you in dismal shape - it looked as though someone had put a fist through it, and somehow you managed to restore it to like-new condition. From the accuracy of the colors, to the details in the image - and even down to the gorgeous, heavy, archival paper you printed them on - we are amazed! It is obvious that you all love what you do and take your craft quite seriously! You have given new life to a family treasure and we are truly thankful! No doubt you'll be receiving other photos of ours in the very near future!"
