Grandpa's home videos — the birthdays, Christmases, lake trips, and ordinary beautiful days — digitized and gathered in one place for the whole Fortino family, near and far.
Organized by era. New videos are added as Grandpa's tapes are digitized — check back often.
The earliest tapes — young Grandpa, first camcorder experiments, the family growing up.
Every Christmas morning, every birthday cake, every snow day in the yard.
Lake weekends, Michigan summers, road trips, and the moments in between.
Grandpa's DVD archive is being digitized right now — arriving weekly.
A family effort to make sure nothing is lost.
Every tape and disc is carefully transferred in original quality, then optimized so it plays smoothly on any device — phones, tablets, or the big TV.
The archive is private. Access is by invitation — family members receive a link and a simple sign-in. Nothing here is public, ever.
Originals are archived in durable cloud storage with backups. These videos will outlive the tapes they came from — for the next generation of Fortinos.
