The Goal
This “Memory-Sharing Platform [will] help Missouri families digitize photo and video collections for the holidays.

Event

This free event includes unlimited scanning of photos and videos, a "show & tell" of great old photographs, and a short class on vintage photography.

Launching the week before Thanksgiving, Shoeboxology will show MGC participants how they can make family photo sharing a big part of their holiday. “It’s a time when families are together with the people who remember the stories and people behind the photographs” says Mike Katchen, director of business development at 1000memories. “That’s why it’s so important to take advantage of holidays to share these stories and save them for future generations”. It is open to the public.  Don’t miss out on this free opportunity! RSVP at mcg@1000memories.com.
