The winter meeting of the Allen County Historical Society will focus on the museum’s new photo scanner.
The scanner can process negatives as large as 8-by-10 inches.
With more than 40 boxes filled with negative images, some dating back to the early years of the 20th century, the Historical Society’s plan is to digitize them all.
Thursday’s event also will feature a slide show of several of the Gibson Studio negatives that they have already scanned, and a demonstration of what the scanner can do to help preserve these historic photos.
The event is at 7 p.m. and will be at the Frederick Funston meeting hall, 207 N. Jefferson Ave. in Iola.
Refreshments and snacks will be served.
