NEW: Patrons can now access digitized FamilySearch records on their own laptops! This means you can use your own laptop, and you do not have to use one of our computers. You can view and download any accessible digital documents. Bring in your laptop and our staff will assist you in setting up personal access.
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.
FHC Hours:
