VHS Digitization in Finksburg, MD
Century High School gave Finksburg its identity. Knights football, lacrosse championships, and band competitions. Gamber breakfasts and Sandymount summers. Worth preserving on more than just magnetic tape.
Those tapes in your closet are degrading every year. The magnetic coating breaks down. Colors fade. Audio gets muddy. I convert VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, MiniDV, slides, and photos to digital files you can watch on any TV or share with family - and I do it right here in Carroll County, not in some warehouse across the country.

Finksburg is the in-between place - not quite Westminster, not quite Reisterstown, but with its own identity around Century High School. The Gamber fire hall breakfast is a local institution. Sandymount has the pool where everyone spent summers. It's bedroom community Carroll County, but people put down roots here.
Finksburg developed in the early 1800s as a crossroads community named for early settler George Fink. The area remained rural until the late 20th century when residential development spread from Westminster and the Baltimore suburbs. Century High School, opened in 1997, became the community anchor.
