The library and archives recently installed a new microfilm scanner for researchers wanting to access old newspapers and county/city records. Images can be printed or scanned to a USB drive.

Our museum just received our new microfilm scanner! Microfilm is a type of film that used to be very popular for storing copies of newspapers, magazines, letters, and other documents. Now with our scanner we can access, read, and scan all the microfilm that we have within our archives! 🥳

The Eagle Valley Library District was fortunate to be able to purchase a new microfilm scanner for our Eagle branch! With this new machine, you are able to view and scan film, as well as adjust the brightness, contrast and clarity of the image on the computer screen. You can even save scans directly to a flash drive and convert your scans into word-searchable PDF documents. There are many more amazing features that can be used to view EVLD’s extensive microfilm collection of Eagle County newspapers. Stop on by and check it out!
