We Can Help
You Digitize:
Image Scanning
With Photomyne, you can scan photos, scrapbooks, slides, photo negatives, documents. You can use Photomyne from home or in the library!
Download the app with a specific HPLD connection to unlock free services.
A smart device with a camera is required to use Photomyne, both at home and in the library.
Stop in and use the light pad to help make scanning easier, especially useful for photo negatives and slides!
Video Conversion
The Video2Digital Convertor can convert anything with RCA or A/V cable outputs. Videos played on old camcorders, tapes in outdated formats — if you have a tape and something that can play it, we can convert it to a high-quality digital file.
Convert VHS tapes with the VCR and Video2Digital Convertor.
Cassette Conversion
The ezcap TapeDigi can convert cassette tapes (sometimes called “compact cassettes”) to digitial files.
