During April, the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society invites those in the New York City area to come in person to its Digitization Center for a 30-minute session to digitally preserve your own records for free, using the Copibook scanner.
Staff will guide you through the image capture and editing technologies. Participants will receive a free external drive that contains their own archivable, high-resolution digital files to take home. This is a free event but registration is required.
Monday, April 7 – 2 to 5 p.m.
Monday, April 14 – 3 to 6 p.m.
Monday, April 21 – 2 to 5 p.m.
Saturday, April 28 – 2 to 5 p.m.
To register, go to: https://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/events and click on the date you are interested in. The society is located at 36 West 44th Street, Suite 711 in Manhattan.
Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email where you can choose your time slot. For New York City residents with accessibility issues and are unable to visit our offices in person, email digitizeny@nygbs.org to learn about a free mail-in option for digitally preserving your family history records.
