In celebration of Family History Month and international Home Movie Day, the UCSB Library’s Santa Barbara Community Archives Project is partnering with the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society (SBCGS) to promote the importance of home movie collections and to provide free digitization services for Santa Barbara community members. Digitized materials will be preserved for future generations in the Library’s Local History Collections.
Current and former residents of Santa Barbara County are invited to bring their eligible films (8mm, Super 8, 16mm) to the SBCGS’s Sahyun Library (316 Castillo St) on October 24, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., and October 27, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., for free off-site digitization. Original materials and digital files will be returned to participants at no cost. UCSB Library will then provide long-term preservation for the digital copies.
