5- Wolverine slide scanner (a new one) for digitizing 35 mm slides, as well as film negatives and can take images from 8 mm movie film. This new machine comes with three 4 slide speed loaders for faster loading of slides. The images are viewable on a 4.3 inch screen as they are being digitized. There are a few editing options on this scanner, if used, they will increase the time needed to digitize. Once the slides are loaded into the carriers, it's just a few seconds to digitize each slide. | 5- Wolverine slide scanner (a new one) for digitizing 35 mm slides, as well as film negatives and can take images from 8 mm movie film.

8- Elgato software on a laptop computer attached to the VHS/DVD machine to enable digitizing home movies from VHS cassettes, DVD, or camcorders. We have the adaptor to use for VHS-C. This VHS/DVD machine will also copy from VHS to DVD if that is the desired format. At current time we can not digitize Beta tapes or JVC mini-cassettes. The recording is done in real time- i.e. if the tape is 2 hours long, it will take two hours to digitize. | 8- Elgato software on a laptop computer attached to the VHS/DVD machine to enable digitizing home movies from VHS cassettes, DVD, or camcorders.

All of these digital options can be saved to a flash drive (please bring your own) or sent via email, google drive or other cloud based options. The Wolverine machines and the Hammacher Schlemmer Slide Convertor use SDHC cards (a capacity of 32 GB maximum- we have a few at the center for use there) for digitizing. The files from the SDHC can be transferred to a flash drive; or one may bring their own SDHC for these machines if you wish. | All of these digital options can be saved to a flash drive (please bring your own) or sent via email, google drive or other cloud based options.
