Testimonials

Ian guided me through a strategy to preserve my grandfather’s letters to the woman who would become my grandmother during his service in World War 1. These precious letters were decaying and Ian handled each one with individual care. We continue capturing the story of the legacy of my grandfather’s life journey

David S, Mosman

Scanned and Secure just completed a photobook for our group of 24. Ian was able to capture the special moments we had traveling through Jordan and Israel…mapping out each segment and merging it together as a beautifully presented photobook. A memory I will treasure forever. Can’t wait until he organizes my next holiday photos for me!

Susie T, Sydney

Ian is amazing. He is exactly what I was looking for. He has helped me by lifting the weight of responsibility of my inherited Grandfather’s war photos and scanning and sorting them. A massive job that I couldn’t do emotionally, without his expertise, his historical knowledge and his scanning experience. And this is only the beginning, next will be my parents photos and eventually my own.

Felicity W, Manly, Sydney

Ian met my need by providing a way to quickly and professionally get a large number of photos and slides digitised so I could make them accessible to more people. A very valuable tool when you’re trying to bring your family story and heritage to life for the ones coming after you. Thank you Ian!

Michael York, Seven Hills, Sydney

I dropped in 5200 negatives in June and they were all beautifully scanned in less than 4 weeks and at a good price too ! I’m now sharing the digital pictures with friends and family who haven’t see these photos for 20-30 years. Only problem is now that Ian has seen as many photos of my life as my wife!

Ken H, Forestville, Sydney

We had a large number of irreplaceable photos from the past – some more than 60 years old – so it was critical to have someone who’d not only scan and enhance them, but handle them carefully. Ian came recommended so we felt confident to entrust this important job to him. That confidence was well placed. He did the job honestly, professionally, quickly and within the quote he’d given.

Graham, Baulkham Hills, Sydney

Imagine 1,700 slides taken in the mid 1970’s, collecting dust and occupying sizeable shelf space, far too precious to ever be thrown away. ‘Scanned and Secure’ provided the perfect answer to our daunting problem. Now, the precious memories of our 3 years living in England and birth of our children, are preserved and passed on to our family in an easy, accessible form.

Lou B, Sydney

I’m a happy customer! Scanned and Secure played a critical role in my de-cluttering effort with the digital preservation of my photo heritage. Big, heavy, broken-down, dust-collecting, mouldy albums will now become thin light photo books in chronological order. Thank you for such a quality job.

Sally M, Allambie Heights, Sydney

Just used this great service and after putting this off for years I started with two photo albums and bang it was done in no time. Saved me stacks of time and angst so thanks Scanned and Secure for making this happen. I will be back for more shortly

John C, Sydney

Thanks S&S for bringing my dad’s slides to life. It was wonderful to travel back through the years. Your service was fast, personal and of great quality. Dad loved the photo book too! Thanks again.
