Digitizing old tapes

[Crowmangler]

Anyone have recommendations/ references for a service that digitizes old tapes?
I have about 50+ mini DV (8mm?) tapes that I'd like to get digitized/ preserved.
All from first years of the kids lives so very important to me & don't wanna risk them getting damaged, etc.
I've looked at Legacy Box but man there's tons of bad reviews, horror stories about them.
Thanks in advance!

I used these guys to digitize some audio tapes. They did a great job.

I’ve heard Costco does this and that it’s super easy, but I cannot speak on experience.

We've been wanting to do this with my parent's old Super 8 videos. I've considered buying a machine and doing it myself. Sell the machine when you're done and it's not that expensive of an endeavour.

I did all mine off the computer. Just bought a program that had a USB cord with yellow, red and white plugs on the other side. Plug in the VCR/Cam Corder or whatever and open the program. Let play and they save digitally on the PC.
