You don't take it home, but my library has digitizing machines. You can digitize hundreds of old photos in minutes (it pulls them through and scans them like a deck of cards in a shuffling machine, so fast! And it is super sensitive so no/low risk of a photo jamming), and it can scan front and back at once, for those photos granny labeled on the back in her sweet cursive. You can digitize old home movies all the way back to those circular reel movies. All for free, as much as you want. The equipment is thousands of dollars and they just let me walk in and play with it. It's incredible
That is super cool! I should see if I can do that at mine
That sounds so great. Do you know the device's product name? Which library do you get this from? I'd like to try it out in my library.
I don't want to dox myself publicly, but I'll DM you a link to the page on my library's site! They don't have device names listed but there are descriptions of what they do and pictures of the devices so if you're familiar maybe you can just figure it out?
