New “scanning” microfilm reader/printer at the Local History & Genealogy Center

In December, we aquired a new microfilm reader/printer that has scanning capabilities. You can scan records/articles from the microfilm and download the files onto your flashdrive. You can also e-mail the files to yourself.

This new service is free of charge.
