Preserving Our Memories for Generations with Jim Gebhardt

Ep 092: We often hear that our clients are sifting through old pictures, VHS tapes, DVDs, YouTube videos, etc., and are looking for a way to keep their memories alive over time, but it all seems unorganized and not coordinated to the people we ultimately want to give these memories and their context to! Enter MyArkit, an online digital archival company preserving the legacy of loved ones and friends. As we live our lives digitally, we save memories to devices, clouds, or social media sites that may get lost due to faulty equipment or careless handling. We all have thousands of pictures and videos on our devices that get clicked away with no story behind them that gives them real meaning and emotion. Imagine your great-grandkids being able to view your life in your own words and thoughts. Well, that is exactly what we are talking about today!
