Safeguard Your Snaps at City Library

History Hub Tutoring

Archive and protect your precious photos and important documents with the help of our friendly History Hub volunteers. Bring along your printed photos, negatives or projector slides to save onto a USB and never have to worry about damage or loss again. Scanners available at City Library include Brother (ADS-16000w) Scanner and Epson Perfection V850 Pro Scanner and are available for independent use once our volunteers have shown you the ropes.

The History Hub, with locations in the Adelaide City Library and North Adelaide Library, has worked with a wide range of leading historical organisations and individuals to enhance the community’s connection with the City’s past and present. History Hub programs and resources have enlightened the community with amazing exhibitions, online tours, assistance with research projects, interactive presentations, one-on-one training and more. Find out more about what the History Hub can offer you!

The History Hub includes the Adelaide Picture Collection which offers thousands of photographs of Adelaide’s surrounds including the city centre, North Adelaide and the Park Lands dating from the mid-19th Century. You can also access free history research resources including Trove and Ancestry Library Edition.

Volunteers and staff are not able to guarantee that a patron’s future training sessions will be with the same volunteer. Library staff can only book similar time slots, but sessions are dependent on volunteer availability and may be covered by other volunteers.

Please note that sessions will not be available for registration more than 30 days in advance.
