Community Digitization Day - ARRIVAL TIME RESERVATION
July 16, 2026

To help celebrate 250 years of American history, Hagley invites you to come to the library and preserve your own history! Bring photos, documents, letters, and other memories. Our staff will use our professional digitization equipment to create digital copies for your personal safekeeping. 

We’d love to preserve additional copies in a special community collection in the Hagley Digital Archives, if you wish to do so. Forms will be provided during the event to help us gather information about your items for the collection.

Additional staff will be on hand throughout the day to provide preservation advice and offer opportunities to see our library collection spaces.

This event will take place in the Hagley Library from 10 am to 3 pm. We can accommodate up to 20 minutes of scanning time per registered guest. Please try to arrive within the time window posted at the top of this page.
