Many people have piles of papers and photos that they would like to digitize, but they don't know where to start. Family Document Digitization is a website that takes users step-by-step through the process of digitizing, storing, and sharing their letters, photos, diaries, and more. The website features blog posts on how to digitize, store, and share their documents using accessible equipment, free applications, and household objects. The project sponsor is Cook Memorial Library in La Grande, Oregon, a rural public library serving users of all ages.
