Preparing for your visit

---

We have a few tips about using the center's equipment.

• After you schedule your appointment, a few things to know:
• Verify that you have your items in a protective case to transport to the Family History Center and organized in the way you'd like to work through your files.
• Bring a USB or thumb drive to transfer your files onto upon completing digitization. (This is where the digital files will be copied for you to take them home.) Note: Bring at least a 3.0 speed on thumb drive to digitize your info. The 2.0 speed causes problems.
• Dust off items before using any of the equipment for digitizing your items.
• Be sure that you work with a consultant who will assist you with using the various scanning equipment.
• Face all photos the same way when using the rapid scanner
• Have your slides in order and labeled.
• Upon completing be sure to copy the digital files onto your USB/thumb drive.
