New Equipment

Our Family History Center has some new equipment to assist you with preserving your family documents and photos.

Photo Scanner
The new scanner is easier to use and has more options.

Slide and Negative Scanner
This scanner displays your digital images on a monitor which makes it easier to adjust tint and print quality before you scan slides and negatives.

Book Scanner
Bring in journals, diaries or books you would like to digitize. The book scanner will remove the fold in the center of the book and flatten the pages. You can save the book as a searchable pdf, Word document or Excel spreadsheet.
