Saving Sounds, Stories, Photos and Memories From Extinction

Hi, I’m Thea, and I’m still pressing play the old fashioned way.

Totally Content is my corner of the internet for memory preservation, physical media, retro tech and music. I help people in Glasgow rescue old photos, tapes and recordings by turning them into digital files they can keep, share and enjoy again.

I’m doing the same with my own collection too, from digitising hundreds of CDs and MiniDiscs to rescuing camcorder footage and rebuilding my stolen vinyl collection. This isn’t just a service I offer. Preserving the stuff that matters is one of my passions.

Tape & Media Transfers

Wedding videos, family recordings, old demos and forgotten tapes don’t deserve to disappear with the machines that play them. I transfer VHS, cassettes, MiniDV, MiniDiscs and other old formats to digital in Glasgow.

Retro Tech & Digital Archiving

I love the gadgets that keep physical media alive. Follow my adventures with the Brennan B3+, MiniDisc, cassette decks, CD collections and the occasional bit of retro tech that refuses to cooperate.

Photo Scanning in Glasgow

Got a shoebox, album or pile of family photographs sitting in a cupboard? I can scan your old printed photos and turn them into digital files you can back up, share with family and enjoy again.

Music, Collecting & Stories

From replacing my stolen vinyl collection to crate digging, forgotten formats and the songs tied to particular moments in our lives, Totally Content is also about the stories behind the stuff we keep.

Thea is lovely and did an outstanding job of digitalising my family photo albums, with a quick turnaround and very reasonable price. Strongly recommend!

Jacqueline McRorie

Great service from Thea! She digitised three video tapes and a DVD for me, including one that was over 40 years old. It’s lovely to be able to watch these memories again and share them with friends and family. Thanks again, Thea!

Monica Huckins

Thea did amazing work restoring and converting very old VHS and camcorder tapes I’ve had sitting around. I was overjoyed seeing all the lost memories I forgot that were captured over 20+ years ago. One of the best moments was not even remembering one video I was in front of the camera in until seconds later those priceless memories come rushing back! Highly recommend Thea’s services.

Kirsty Mccourt

I’m absolutely delighted with the service I received. I had my wedding video transferred to a digital file so I could upload it to YouTube and share it with my family, and the whole process was so straightforward from start to finish. The service was affordable, communication was great, and I was pleasantly surprised that they had even enhanced the visual quality of the video. Seeing our wedding day brought back to life and being able to easily share those memories with loved ones is priceless. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to preserve and digitise their precious memories.

Rescuing memories from old video tapes and other media can be a tricky business. Time and storage conditions can play a big part. That’s what is really so special about what Thea does. It’s not “just a process” to her. She’s fully invested in the task, taking the utmost care to ensure a successful outcome. Bigger, more expensive, operations may employ the ‘plug in, fire and forget’ methods, but Thea is hands on and caring. That’s worth its weight in Gold.

Carol Smith

I had several different types of media to be converted - VHS tapes, Mini DVD discs, Beta tapes and Smart Media cards. Nothing was too much trouble for Thea and she quickly and efficiently digitalised them for me and emailed me a link with everything there ready to download! I would highly recommend Thea and can’t thank her enough for preserving all my footage that I can now share digitally with my family. You need someone who is trustworthy to handle your conversions and make your precious memories permanent! Thea’s your gal!

Thank you for preserving our memories for the future.

After several years of searching for an 1984 NME cassette tape I found it. Only one problem I no longer have a tape player. Thea saved the day. Quick service and a good price to have it converted digitally. Memories preserved. Thank you!
