Year Established: 1954

Specialties: Digitization

Training/Experience: Linhoff Photo has more than 30 years of media archiving experience and has served the Twin Cities since 1954. All digitizing is done in-house at its St. Louis Park, Minnesota facility, so customer originals never leave the building. The company offers scanning and transfer services for photos, slides, negatives, video tapes, movie film reels, and audio recordings. It can scan printed photos, documents, letters, and artwork; digitize slides and film negatives; and restore damaged images by fixing scratches, fading, tears, and color loss. Linhoff also transfers home video formats like VHS, Hi8, and MiniDV, with technicians checking each file for quality and sound. For movie film, it cleans reels and scans them frame by frame to create digital files such as MP4, MOV, or AVI. It also converts cassette tapes, vinyl records, reel-to-reel tapes, and DAT tapes into MP3 or WAV files.

Notes: The Twin Cities are home to a rich institutional history, and Linhoff Photo has spent decades helping museums, historical societies, and cultural organizations preserve it. Whether the materials are fragile glass plate negatives, crumbling documents, or deteriorating film, the team handles each item with care. Its professional scanning and digitization services produce accurate, high-resolution results so collections stay protected and remain accessible to researchers and educators.
