Preservation Station
Digitize your precious photographs, photo slides, film negatives and documents at the Preservation Station in our History Room. We offer an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner for DIY scanning. Library membership is required to access this service.
​Before You Come
​Before you arrive, please be aware that the Preservation Station is self-service. You will need intermediate computer skills to use the laptop and scanner provided. Library staff can assist you in getting started, however, they cannot digitize items for you. If you are not confident using computers, it is recommended to bring someone who can assist you.
