The Scranton Public Library offers a service for patrons to have VHS tapes, 8mm reel film, slides, photographs, and other analog media converted to a digital format. This service is handled completely in-house: patrons drop off their media along with a USB flash drive for us to store the digital files on, and the conversion process is completed typically in 1-2 weeks using equipment that is only available to staff. Patrons should schedule an appointment before dropping off their materials as their signature is required to complete the conversion. Please note that we are unable to convert any copywritten material, including feature films or television programs. You can view our policy regarding media digitization and the release form here.
Pricing for conversion is as follows:
VHS tapes: $3 per 2 hours of recorded material
8mm film: $4 per each 3-inch reel
Slides & Photographs: 15 cents each
USB flash drives for storage can be purchased at an additional cost.
Please contact ggerega@albright.org or 570-348-3000 x 3008 with any questions or for additional information.
Our 3D Printing service is currently unavailable due to holiday closures and service interruptions. Check back in January for more updates!
