Good news
for historians and genealogists! The Ridgefield Library has acquired a new ST ViewScan
III microfilm scanner to provide improved access to the Ridgefield Press from
1875 to 2003 as well as other microform content needed for research and
genealogy. The high-resolution camera allows users to see details more clearly
and to digitally zoom in and out. Microfilm content will be scanned into a
digital format of your choice such as PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PNG. You can crop an article, section, or entire
page and then enhance and adjust the content further for the best possible
quality.
The
resulting files can be emailed quickly and easily or printed in the Library,
saved to a USB flash drive, or distributed to Google Drive, Dropbox, or
FamilySearch.
Thanks to
the Rotary Club of Ridgefield for a challenge grant to get us started on
raising the full purchase price of this much-needed upgrade. Additional
donations of any amount are now being accepted and can be made through the
Library Wish List on our website at www.ridgefieldlibrary.org.
To learn
more about this wonderful new resource, join us on Saturday, April 8 at 10:00
AM or 3:00 PM for a demonstration or contact the Adult Services Desk for an
individual appointment.
