Randy Coleman Memory Lab
Memory Lab
The San Rafael Public Library provides the Memory Lab as a valuable resource to assist patrons in creating digital copies of cherished photographs, slides, documents, and negatives. The Memory Lab is situated at the Downtown branch at 1100 E Street and is accessible to the public by appointment.
New users are required to attend a brief orientation session to become acquainted with the equipment. This initiative has been generously funded through a donation in honor of Randy Coleman, a former resident of San Rafael and esteemed library patron.
Returning users will need to make an appointment for each session.
Please request an appointment here. Please allow 48 hours for a staff member to reach out to you.

- Video conversion software for transferring VHS tapes and personal DVDs to digital format
