Are there any places that can take a broken tape from a camcorder and take the information off of it?

Question

My son someone got ahold of the mini tape of our daughters birth. We did a little documentary of our lives before and after. And he got it open and broke the tape part in half. He didn't pull it out though. So i'm thinking there may be hope. It's says mini dv on the tape. Please help me. I'm in tears writing this.

They may be able to help you. They are a tape recovery service. I would think that if you're actual tape is fine, just the plastic housing is broken, then they can recover all of it. Good luck!

Edit: Even if the tape itself is broken in half, then they may be able to just put it back together and recover it.
