Newspapers and Microfilm Resources, Center for Lowell History

The ScanPro 2200 at the Center for Lowell History

In May of 2019 UMass Lowell Libraries purchased the ViewScan 4.7 microfilm scanner for use at the Center for Lowell History. Users can digitally capture and adjust key elements of microfilm and save the images in multiple formats. This improves both image quality for human and Optical Character Recognition readability. Below are the instruction manuals for the ViewScan 4.7; first the quick start guide, then the full user manual.
