Beyond the Flat-bed Copier/Scanner

/in /by

Beyond the Flat-bed Copier/Scanner
We’ve all used our flatbed scanners and copiers. But, have you ever wondered if you can scan entire books and make them searchable? Did you know there are battery powered scanners?
In this class, we will explore portable battery powered scanners (the wand, sheet-fed, and Flip Pal mini flatbed), along with negative and slide scanners, large format negative scanners, overhead book scanners and digitizing our old VHS tapes.
We’ll discuss the ability to stitch multiple scans into one, correcting color in a scan from an old negative or slide, and how to use the OCR capabilities.
Join us October 11, 2023 at either 1pm or 6pm at the TCGS Library located at 307 Center St., Dennison.
Please email us at tcgslibrary@gmail.com by October 4th to register for this free class.

Flooding In Basement

/in /by

After a heavy rain on Friday 11 Nov we had 3-1/2 feet of water in our basement. At the present time the repair bill for hauling away the debris, cleaning and sanitizing the basement, replacing the furnace and hot water heater will be $15,500.
Our insurance policy has the standard water exclusion clause so we will not get any funds from the insurance company.
Any contributions toward these expenses would be great appreciated. An anonymous donor will match the first $1,000.
Donations may be mailed to Tuscarawas County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 83, Dennison, Ohio 44621-0083.
We will be applying for grants to try to also try to cover the cost but competition for grants has increased in recent years.
Thanks
