Our family found a number of vinyl records recorded by my great grandfather in ~1940. I want to get them digitized but am deathly afraid of damaging them in some way. Are there any library resources available for such a task?

with the right equipment at hand - its really not that hard to do.

I have done it myself at a music library where I took a Vinyl record

played it on a record player - the audio sent to a an amplifier - then fed it to an output line - normally used for headphones but actually fed that into the mic of a small audio digital recorder.

 

then used "Audacity" software to edit the audio.

 

here was my output:

I dont know why anyone at FHL would have any of this type of experience.

most university/college music libraries have vinyl record players

True, but they generally only have student employees who run them. I am looking for someone with experience, which is why I came to the FHL

you will find much more experience at a music library then you will at the FHL

and the right equipment to convert it to digital.

note I am specifically referring to a MUSIC library

and not just a general library.
