Brackett Preservation Lab Grand Opening

Join Us!

Attend the open house and orientation to learn how to preserve your analog and print memories in the DIY Brackett Preservation Lab.

The Brackett Preservation Lab (BPL) is a self-service space providing the equipment and software needed for library users to digitize their analog and print memorabilia. The lab provides equipment for digitizing VHS and DVD home movies, scanning photographs and slides, and much more. It is available as a self-guided model, meaning we provide step-by-step instructions, but you control the process from start to finish.

The BPL is located in the Brackett Library on Indian River State College's Mueller Campus at 6155 College Lane, Vero Beach, FL 32966. The Brackett Library is a joint-use branch library administered by Indian River State College and the Indian River County Library System.

The Brackett Preservation Lab was made possible through the Patterson Endowed Teaching Chair in Humanities awarded to Brackett Library's faculty librarian, Angie Neely-Sardon, in August 2023. The project is funded through Summer 2026. For more information, email Angie at asardon@irsc.edu or visit https://irsc.libguides.com/bpl.
