The Digital Lab is a multifunctional space designed to help the community learn, create, collaborate, and explore with technology. The lab provides equipment for digitizing home movies, scanning photographs and slides and much more. It is available as a self-guided model, meaning we provide step-by-step instructions, but you control the process from start to finish.
The Digital Lab is located in the Montgomery branch of SCLSNJ. We offer equipment for converting various types of media into digital files including:
- 8mm and Super 8 film
- Non-copyrighted CD / DVD
- VHS
- Audio Cassettes
- Film (35mm strips, mounted slides, and medium format strips)
- Printed materials (such as photographs, scrapbook pages, etc.) up to 8.5×11.7″
- The large format scanner can scan up to 16.53 x 23.39″ (available by appointment only)
We also have software to edit audio, video and photo files.
**Please call ahead to ensure your needed equipment is in good working order prior to your visit**
