Program: Image Scanning technology
Speakers: Various members
Do you have old letters? Documents? Perhaps a family scrapbook or diary? Photographs? Slides? Negatives? This will be an opportunity to get your items digitized! Bring your materials and a USB memory stick (AKA a thumb drive) to take the digitized versions home with you.
We expect to have 4 of the CZUR book scanners which were used at our previous scanning demonstration, and two flatbed scanners equipped for scanning negatives and slides.
If you have several items, we will show you how to use the equipment and let you proceed. We plan to have one of the work stations run by an experienced dedicated to scanning a few items from any individual, and several other stations for member's use to serve several people at once.
The CZUR scanners can accommodate items (books or loose sheets) up to 13x19 inches. Multipage materials can be saved as a single PDF file. The flatbed handles black and white or color materials - positive or negative, in various standard sizes.
