Coastal Heat and Humidity Threaten Old Media
Myrtle Beach’s heat and humidity can be especially damaging to memories stored in attics, garages, closets, and storage units. Film can develop vinegar syndrome, magnetic videotapes gradually lose their signal, and moisture can contribute to mold and damage on tapes, photographs, and albums.
You don’t have to digitize everything at once—but it is important to start. Heirloom can inspect a mixed collection and help you identify what should be preserved first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Heirloom provide digitizing services in Myrtle Beach?
Yes. Heirloom serves families throughout Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand from our South Carolina operation. Customers can send their media with a prepaid UPS label, ship it themselves, or bring it to our Mount Pleasant office.
Is Heirloom physically located in Myrtle Beach?
Heirloom’s customer office is located at 11 eWall Street in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. We do not claim a Myrtle Beach storefront. We make it easy for Grand Strand customers to send a mixed collection without purchasing or waiting for a digitizing kit.
How do I send videotapes and photos from Myrtle Beach?
Pack your media securely in your own box, obtain a prepaid Heirloom UPS label, and drop the package at a UPS Store®. You may also use your preferred carrier or bring the collection to us personally.
Will I know the cost before digitizing begins?
Yes. Heirloom inspects your media and provides an itemized quote before beginning the work. Nothing is digitized until you approve it.
How long does digitizing normally take?
With few exceptions, orders are completed within approximately two weeks after payment. Particularly large, fragile, or complex collections may require additional time.
