Given the physical preservation needs of papers, photographs, media, and other diverse materials that make up your personal and family archives, you may desire to digitize your collections. Digitization - also referred to "scanning" or "transfer" - is the process of creating a digital image or other digital version of your original items, for access and storage as computer files. This may make photographs and documents easier to share with friends or relatives, and it may make audio-visual material much easier to watch and hear without specialized projectors, tape players, or other equipment.
