CAM Convert & Archive Materials

The library offers equipment to convert and archive your analog media to digital. This is a service designed to meet the community's needs when it comes to the ever-changing technology that can be used to preserve personal histories.  The types of materials we work with are: Visual (photos, negatives, and 35mm slides), Audio (33/45/78 rpm vinyl records and cassette tapes) and Video (VHS tapes, camcorder tapes, and 8 mm/Super 8 film).

The cost is FREE if you convert the materials yourself. You may use the equipment in the library's makerspace anytime, or request an appointment for assistance. 

We also offer a full-service option for a fee. The fee varies depending on the length of time needed to complete your project. For example, it costs $3.00 to convert one VHS tape. We are happy to offer you a quote in advance. 

Contact Sarah French at 262-458-2785 or sfrench@whitewater-wi.gov with questions, for a full-service quote, or to make an appointment.
