“We had accumulated a collection of early to mid-20th Century pavement related glass lantern slides, black and white photographic prints, and negatives from various sources that we had long wanted to digitize for display and educational purposes. We learned that the Hartford Public Library had a full digitization studio, the Digital Library Lab, right in downtown Hartford, so we contacted them for a quote. Within a week, we agreed on a price, got the materials to the DLL@HPL, and received amazing digitized images. We were thrilled to see them brought to the digital age!”

"We appreciate the DLL@HPL's personalized attention to this project. They guided us every step of the way, including showing us how best to access and use the digitized files. The DLL@HPL is a great resource to the State of Connecticut.”

I needed to have two scrapbooks measuring 2' X 3' scanned into digital files for use in a documentary. Brad Overturf at HPL's Digital Library Lab did an incredible job. The scrapbooks are 61 years old. Every time I opened them, I would have to secure photos that came loose as they are barely clinging to the page due to the yellowed, cracked, tape. When I opened them to point some things out to him, more fell out. He was completely understanding and patient. We took a few minutes to carefully flip through the pages to secure any photos in need. He then eased my worries about leaving my scrapbooks with him for the day. Throughout the entire process, Brad was attentive and professional. He truly cared about completing the job to the highest standard. This experience allows me to trust him implicitly with any future project.
