Preserving Your Archives and Using the New Haven Memory Lab In-Person
Join us for an introduction to preserving your own archives and to the digitization tools available in the New Haven Memory Lab. Jennifer Coggins, Beinecke Library’s Community Engagement Archivist, will cover basics of saving and sharing your personal archives and ways that digitization – creating digital copies – can be useful in the process. New Haven Free Public Library’s Community Technology Librarian Rose Simpson will introduce the scanning tools available through the just-launched New Haven Memory Lab and provide guidance on using the Lab to digitize your treasured documents and photos.
Located in Ives Squared at the Ives Main Library, the Lab is provided as part of the Beinecke’s New Haven Community Archives Support program.
At the time of launch, the Memory Lab can be used to create digital scans of print and photographic materials including:
· Photographic prints, negatives, and slides
· Photo albums and scrapbooks
· Print documents
· Books, pamphlets, and other bound items
