At one point or another in our genealogy research, we all hope to manage to gain access to a great roll of microfilm that knocks down that brick wall, or has more information than we imagined or bargained for. As you’re sitting in the library making dozens of copies, maybe you wonder if there is a better way. Maybe you plan on scanning the copies at home from that flatbed scanner you bought just to get that document onto your genealogy software? You can take a step out of that process and scan directly from the microfilm here at the library!
We have two dedicated microfilm readers and computers, which will enable you to scan from microfilm onto cd-r, cd-rw, or a flash drive, or if you have a laptop, directly to your hard drive. We have printed step-by-step instructions at the reference desk, or, if you need one-on-one instruction, you can make an appointment with us through Book-A-Librarian, where we can give you in-depth training on how to create and store your scans from microfilm.

I have two rolls of microfilm on OH tax records; can I bring them in and use this system to scan them?
Yes, you can. If you have any microfilm or microfiche you can bring it in and use the scanners. If you feel you would need help to get started on scanning, you can Book-a-Librarian to have a personal tutorial on how to scan. Call us at 630-2409 to reserve a time.
Great, thanks.
Another option would be to send the microfilm or microfiche to Digital Film Solutions and we will scan the entire roll for you.
Digital Film Solutions provides microfilm and microfiche scanning services.
