The Library of Michigan is conducting a survey to gather information about memory labs and related digitization and media conversion services offered by public and academic libraries across Michigan. The data collected will be used to create a comprehensive, publicly accessible map and index of memory labs in the state, helping residents and organizations easily locate available equipment, services, and expertise.

In addition, survey responses will inform efforts to improve discoverability of digitization and media conversion services, strengthen communication among institutions, and explore the development of a Michigan memory lab network. By identifying existing resources and areas of need, this initiative aims to support collaboration among libraries and increase public access to tools and professional guidance that help preserve personal, family, and community history.

The survey is available at https://forms.office.com/g/AqAQPZQbUg

This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and can be filled out regardless of whether your library has a memory lab or not. Information gathered may be shared in aggregated form to promote awareness, foster partnerships, and guide future statewide planning and support efforts. Please contact Biz Gallo (GalloB@Michigan.gov) for any questions about the survey.
