Hardware and Equipment

 * At the Family History Center we have equipment that you can use to convert slides to digital. It is very fast and is a wonderful way to make it so you can see the pictures that you took as slides.
 * We have 14 computers, Microfilm, microfiche readers and 1 copy/printers and two auto-feed scanners. We also have a collection of local history books. We have the records of the local Mortuaries. Our Mortuary records begin with 1925 and are updated to 2014.
