What You Can Digitize

Scan photos, letters, documents, certificates, and books using our batch photo scanners, flatbed scanner, or book scanner.

Convert 35 mm slides and film negatives into high-resolution digital images using our dedicated digital film scanner.

Convert VHS, VHS-C, and Digital 8/Hi8 videos into MP4 digital files so your family movies are never lost.

Digitize vintage 8mm and Super 8 movie reels to MP4 format, preserving decades of family history.

Convert cassette recordings — interviews, family stories, home recordings — to MP3 files.

Record your own story or interview family members in our story studio, and keep the files for future generations.

Bring Your Media – Gather the photos, tapes, films, or documents you want to preserve and bring them to the center during open hours. Label your media before you arrive so volunteers can help you organize files efficiently. Arrive at least 90 minutes before closing to allow enough time for your project.
Bring a USB Drive - Bring a 16–64 GB USB flash drive to save your digitized files. Larger capacity storage may be needed for extensive video projects.
Work With a Volunteer - Our trained volunteers will walk you through the equipment and help you get the best results from your media.
Take Your Files Home - Leave with your original media and a USB drive full of high-quality digital files ready to share with family. Consider making backup copies of your digital files to cloud storage or a second drive.
