The Nashville library's Memory Lab program, launched at the Donelson branch, will allow anyone with a library card to digitize old home movies, photos, and slideshows into timeless digital artifacts. The program, which aims to create a video time capsule of life in Nashville over the years, is free and requires a four-hour session at the Memory Lab. Participants can book time to use library equipment to convert their old VHS tapes and Polaroids into digital files. The service is self-service, with help from library staff during the session, but the result is theirs. This is not the first time the library has launched a free digitization service, with systems in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Brooklyn already creating similar programs.
