The Preservation Capture System (PCS) is a state-of- the-art combination of a professional camera, rigid stand, studio lighting, and powerful software. Developed to quickly and easily capture images of records, documents, and photos, the PCS is designed for easy assembly and use by the average genealogist.
Volunteers from Partner Societies use the PCS to digitize records important to genealogists such as vital records, court records, tax rolls, funeral home records, local club scrapbooks, church registers, and cemetery records.
If your society is interested in using the PCS through a TxSGS Equipment Loan Grant, please contact John Wylie, PCS Committee Chair, at Outreach@txsgs.org for details.
A description of the PCS program, policies for PCS use by Partner Societies, and an application form will be published soon on our website.
