Preserve Precious Memories

Bring your memories back to life with our Digitization Station in the Video Studio. You can reserve time to digitize your old VHS, SVHS, 8mm, film slides, photo negatives, and mini DV into a modern file you can more easily view and share.

One patron came in to use the Digitization Station after finding a VHS tape in her grandmother’s basement that had featured footage from a family reunion with multiple family members who have since passed. We received this message from her recently and it reminded us of how important it is to offer these accessible resources.

“I let the cat out of the bag and sent that video to about 100 family members. The response was over the top, tears of joy from so many who thought that was a lost video. Especially my grandmother, she got to see all her children happy, healthy, and together one more time. I can't thank you enough… Your help is greatly appreciated, highly recommended, and will not be forgotten. I hope our paths cross again someday.”
