Cranbourne Library has opened a new service: Digital Memory Stations.
Whether it’s old photographs, VHS tapes, audio cassettes, slides, negatives, or even floppy disks, the Digital Memory Stations let users preserve cherished memories in digital formats.
To use the service, library members must attend a free induction session and then book a two-hour session to work with the equipment.
“Memories are priceless, and so is making sure they survive for future generations,” Beth Luppino, CEO of Connected Libraries, said.
“It’s a way for people to bring their pasts into the present and share their stories with their families, friends, and the wider community.”
Local History Librarian Kate Davis added that the local history archive is full of community stories.
“The Digital Memory Stations allow individuals to connect their personal histories with the broader story of Casey,” she said.
“We look forward to seeing what our members preserve and share.”
Connected Libraries encourages all residents, including families, historians, and individuals with treasured keepsakes, to take advantage of this valuable new and free service.
Library membership and access to this service are free.
