The Oakville Public Library in conjunction with the Trafalgar Township Historical Society holds periodic scanning days. The scanning project has so far recorded more than 1,000 family and historic photos from Trafalgar
Township that will become part of a National online archive of historic photos.
To find when the next one is being held, check back with this site.
Scanning Instructions
Naming your images: The library uses a particular file naming convention so before you begin your scanning work, please contact TTHS who will provide more information about assigning the correct names to each image.
Scanning your photos: In an effort to create archival quality versions of original
images, it is necessary to use the following settings when scanning photographs
on any scanner:
- 600 dpi resolution
- Photograph setting (as opposed to text, etc.)
- Full colour (While many photographs being scanned are in black and
white, full colour allows us to be true to the original's colouring and
nuances.
- Save image as a TIFF with no compression
Sending images to the library: Due to the size of these images, it is best to save
them onto DVD-RW, but CD-RW are a consideration depending on the age and
availability of the equipment with which you are working. They can then be mailed to TTHS c/o 97 Roxton Rd Oakville On L6H 6V3. Do not attempt to email these files, as their large size will cause significant difficulties with your computer and/or your e-mail provider.
