Hilltown Scanning Day

Scan your old photographs, documents and more for free at the Hilltown Community Scanning Day!

Scanning day is an event where community members are invited to share their photos and documents for digital preservation organised by Clonduff Development Enterprise as part of their National Lottery Heritage Fund programme.

The aim of the day is to digitize and preserve community history through photos and documents. People bring their photos, letters, newspapers, documents and memorabilia, which are then scanned on the day by a team of heritage archivists using mobile scanning equipment. The scanned materials are returned to the donors on the day and each item is carefully captured, referenced, and archived. High-quality digital copies of all scanned materials are sent to contributors within a fortnight.

So, let’s help preserve our local history for future generations, protecting collections from damage or loss. Everyone is welcome.

Saturday, March 29 at Carcullion House, 10.30am to 2.30pm. For more info please email [email protected] or call 075 40866986
