Did you know Bayside Libraries offer free access to digitisation equipment at our Beaumaris, Brighton and Sandringham branches?
Visit our Create, Play, Learn spaces to convert treasured memories from VHS tapes, vinyl records, cassette tapes, DVDs, CDs, slides, negatives and reel-to-reel films into digital formats. You can also borrow a take-home digitisation kit to digitise negatives, slides and photographs from the comfort of home.
To help you get started, we've created a series of short, easy-to-follow instructional videos so you can confidently use the equipment and preserve your memories for years to come.
