Photo Scanning Area Make digital copies of family photos that you can preserve, share, and even upload directly to your FamilySearch Family Tree. There are also plenty of high-capacity scanners that make great digital copies quickly.  What to do: Bring the photos you want to scan and a flash drive.  Recording Booth - Record Your Story Video or audio record your favorite family story in one of our enclosed sound booths. Your private recording session includes ten minutes of recording time and you'll get a copy of it on a flash drive. Enjoy sharing the memory for many years to come.  What to do: Think of a family story or memory that you want to capture and preserve. Story helps will be provided on-site. Record a Call - With Someone Who Inspires You Make a phone call that will last a lifetime. Simply call a parent, grandparent, or someone who inspires you and find out more about their life. Our app will record the conversation and you can take it and treasure the memory for years.  What to do: Bring a phone number of a person you want to call and interview, as well as an email address you'd like to send the recorded file to. See Yourself in History How would you look as a cowboy or as one of the pretty maids all in a row? Have your face (and the faces of your friends) added to one of several fun antique photos and e-mail yourself a digital copy you can share.  What to do: Have an email address to send your new photo to.  FamilySearch Book Scanning Booth Get your family book scanned for free. We'll make a digital copy, you keep the original and a searchable PDF copy for yourself.
