VHS Digitization in New Windsor, MD
The Church of the Brethren put New Windsor on the map. Generations of church gatherings, service projects, and community celebrations recorded on tape. Sacred memories that deserve digital preservation.
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.

New Windsor is Church of the Brethren territory - the service center draws volunteers from around the world. The historic campus feels like a small college town frozen in time. Wakefield Valley Golf Club brings in visitors, but this is a quiet place where families have stayed for generations.
New Windsor was established in 1797 and became a center of the Church of the Brethren movement in the 19th century. Blue Ridge College operated here from 1899 to 1944 before merging with Manchester College. The Church of the Brethren service center has been based here since 1944, coordinating disaster relief and international development.
