New York Libraries are Digitizing Family Histories
Culture in Transit’s mobile digitization kits allow organizers to travel around the city with high-resolution scanners and other equipment designed to add archival material to the public record. Since mid-July, select libraries in Brooklyn and Queens have hosted digitization events where local residents can bring their old photos and memorabilia and have it scanned, both for the individual’s collection and the library’s archives.
Hey, what a great idea!
How come no one has offered to do this for the South Belt area, even offering to make house calls?
Oh, wait . . .
Once again, broken record here, as I've asked and asked and offered and offered:
If you have old photos, negatives, or video of the South Belt area from its earliest days through the end of 1997, about 30 years total, your stuff is welcome here.
I have the ability to high-res scan photos, convert negatives (all sizes) to digital print, still-shot old 8mm and Super8 film. I can convert VHS to digital as well.
If you are willing to share, you get a copy of your stuff and the blog gets a copy.
Please let me know if you have anything you are willing to contribute!
