Bulk, Digital photo scanning is only done on Mondays between the Hours of 10-4. '''You must make an appointment with Bro. Schantzen prior to coming into the library to scan'''. 520-396-3236 or 818-384-6104. We can plan an appointment as a Family Home Evening for your whole family. Evening appointments can be arranged (times: 4-8 PM)! Even younger children (6-12 and older) can help with the restoration process software. It’s that easy!

Gather up all of your shoe-boxes of photos and do the following BEFORE coming into the library.

1)  You MUST have a thumb drive to place your photos onto, in order to save them.     2)    Size your photos into groups of the same size (IE... no more than 1/8 inch difference in photo size). Photos of difference widths cause the photos to become skewed during the scanning. 3)   Make sure your photos are facing up and all in the same direction.     4)    Put photos into groups of approximately ¾ to 1 inch in thickness, usually about 25 photos. You can use a rubber band, etc. to keep them together in groups. Then bring them to the Family History Center!
