Considering a digitization project or community scanning event but need equipment? We are here to help!
The Wyoming Digitization Toolkits contain a laptop, scanner, and CD drive to assist organization in starting digitization projects. Kits may be used to digitize documents and photographic prints up to 8.5x11, some negative formats (35mm, 110, 120, 220), and 35mm slides. An external CD drive is also included to assist in migrating files from CDs and DVDs to more reliable storage options. The laptop is also loaded with software to help with image correction, audio and video editing, bulk file renaming, and more.
Kits may be loaned for 3 months at a time, with the option to extend for another 3 months if the kit is not spoken for.
These toolkits are provided by the Wyoming State Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) and Wyoming State Archives. The toolkits were supported in part by an award from the SHRAB, through funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), National Archives and Records Administration.
We hope you have as much fun using them as we did planning them!
