What if I have memorabilia that won’t fit in the box?


Don’t worry, it’s very common for a first-time archiver to have more memories than the box can hold. The Gather Box is simply a place to begin. Elements that don’t fit inside the box can be digitized with the same order, however, additional fees will apply. We’re happy to work with any size custom archiving project, even if it doesn’t fit in the box! A cost estimate will be provided before the magic begins.
