Center Resources

Multi Media Center

     The Logan Center has created an area where you can work with equipment consisting of a computer, scanner, printer and specialized software.  With these resources you can:

•      Scan photos and transfer them to a flash drive or to a DVD.  You an also make printed copies.
•      Use the software to edit, enhance, correct, add to, or delete from a photograph.  Spots, scratches,    creases, faded colors and other defects can be easily corrected.
•      Scan slides or negatives and print them on photo paper, or transfer them to your flash drive or DVD.
•      Compose flyers, posters or other documents using the art and photo editing software.
•      Create collages of photos and create photo albums.  It is also possible to create different artistic effects on your photos.
•      Convert your photo files from one format to another ie. tiff to jpeg or visa versa.

     (Should we insert here the idea of editing videos???)

     Oral History Room

          WHY CREATE AN ORAL HISTORY?

Cicero, a Roman statesman who lived over 2000 years ago said “Not to know what happened before you were born is to remain perpetually a child. For what is the worth of the human soul unless it is woven into the lives of his ancestors?” Creating your personal history is a way of creating bonds between you and your descendants so that their lives can be woven into and connected to yours.

There are many reasons for creating an oral history. The primary reason that the Oral History Center was set up is to provide people an opportunity to share some of their personal history with living relatives and their descendants.

          Further oral history information:

There are numerous types of oral histories.  They can be a single session, or multiple sessions.  They may be at home, at the Family History Center, or in the outdoors.  A staff member of the Center will be happy to discuss with you some of the options that are available.

Please visit our website for further help including questions, outlines, instructions and suggestions on creating your own video history or that of a friend or loved one.
