Why should you Digital Archive?
How can LibroMobile help?
What are the resources available on this site?
Photographs and paper documents, like birth certificates and tax information, can be lost or destroyed. To keep your documents and memories are safe, you can make copies. Digitally saving through Google Drive is one way to store your documents without the risk of natural disintegration. Digital Archiving can help you keep the stuff that is important to you safe and secure for a long time.
LibroMobile offers technology and resource support to help you create your own Digital Archive. You can use the community space to use the scanners, or check the scanners out to take them home with you for a limited time.
To get started, you will need:
-
Important materials (photos, letters, government papers, notes, house deeds, car titles, journal entries, and more)
-
Laptop (you can also use the LibroMobile community laptop)
-
CZUR scanner and adaptor wire (picked up from LibroMobile staff)
-
Epson scanner (provided by LibroMobile)
You will find a handbook that guides you through a step-by-step process of creating a Digital Archive of your own. Below the handbook, there are a series of video tutorials (in English and with Spanish captions) that provides a visual of the scanning and naming files process.
Also, there is a list of community resources for additional information.
Send us an email, if you have any further questions or concerns.
