The Layton FamilySearch Center offers a variety of equipment to help with your audio and media needs. You can convert your VHS, audio cassette, or Super8 to digital format. We have four converters for this -- one in the main area, two in the two recording studios, and one in the family room. Feel free to reserve any piece of equipment you may need. You can also capture live video or audio in our two recording studios. Our staff are trained on the equipment, and can assist as needed. Don't forget to bring your flash drive when you come.

Preparing for your visit

We have a few tips for you to remember after you reserve the equipment you wish to use.

• Bring a flash drive (32 gb max) to put your digital files on after converting them.

Please Note:

Please limit your reservation to two consecutive sessions and do not register for multiple pieces of equipment for the same time slot! Doing so will result in the cancellation of reservations over the limit! We realize that some equipment takes a lot of time to set up, but we don't want people using equipment for multiple sessions or using multiple machines at the same time, as that prevents others from working on their stuff. If the equipment is still available after your reservation is complete, you can ask the receptionists to reserve it to continue your work. If there is equipment (other than the one you have reserved) not being used while you are here, you can ask the receptionists to use it so you can maximize your efficiency while you are here.
