Our Digitization Station is where you can preserve your memories by digitizing old photos, slides, videotapes, vinyl records and audio cassettes.

Whether you have a stack of old photos, cherished home videos, or a treasured vinyl collection, we provide the tools you need to digitize and safeguard these pieces of your history. We love stories, and our Digitization Station is here to help you tell yours. With just a library card, you can start preserving your memories and sharing your story today.

Convert to Digital

The Digitization Station offers a variety of tools to help you preserve your memories. You can digitize formats such as audio cassette tapes, CDs, camcorder tapes (Hi-8 and MiniDV), photos, photo negatives, slides, VHS video tapes (NTSC/Region 1 only), and vinyl records (33, 45, and 78s). For images, use the Epson Perfection 800 Pro flatbed scanner or the Epson FastFoto 680W scanner for quickly scanning stacks of images. For video, the Vidbox Conversion Suite, cassette player, VHS player, Hi-8 camcorder, and MiniDV camcorder are available.

Guides

To get started, explore our guides on using digitization equipment and software for photos, slides, negatives, audio cassettes, camcorder tapes, and vinyl. Keep in mind that digitization occurs in real time, so ensure you plan your session, allowing time for setup and checkout. Save your work to a USB drive or cloud storage, as all data will be deleted at the end of your session.

Come Prepared!

Plan your time carefully! Once the computer shuts down, all data will be lost. Bring a USB Drive or have a Cloud Storage account for saving your work. If you are working on large digital video, audio, or high definition image projects, you may need a significant amount of storage space.

If you are having issues please check that everything is plugged in correctly, check the power and review the available guides. Staff are available to answer basic questions during your session, but you should attend an introductory workshop if the equipment is new to you.
