Preparing your Slides/Photos for Archiving

Number your Slides/Photos
Number your slides/photos in the order that you want them to appear in your transfer.
- Numbering Photos
  Each photo should be numbered on the back using pencil on an adhesive label if possible. DO NOT use "Post-It Notes" as they often fall off and could delay your order.
- Numbering Slides
  Slides should be removed from carousels or slide trays, individually numbered, rubber-banded together and submitted in numbered packs. Each slide needs to be numbered in the upper right-hand corner.
While numbering, should you omit or misnumber a slide/photo, add a letter to the number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 3a, 4, etc.).
Please underline all numbers as the numbers 6 and 9 can be confused with each other. Slides received unnumbered will be numbered at TMT at an additional charge of $.03 per slide.
Select a Title for Your Transfer
If a title is not desired, please leave the title fields blank on the order form. Otherwise, we will begin your production with the title of "Memories."
