The goal of Studio 330 is to provide the community with the tools and expertise essential to preserving personal and community histories through digital archiving. Front Royal and Warren County’s rich history deserves to be recognized and chronicled. In addition, the studio provides the community access to a wide range of equipment and resources to explore, build, collaborate, and create.

A Memory Lab is a do-it-yourself station that allows patrons access to equipment for digitizing home videos, personal documents, photographs, and slides. Patrons can preserve and share media that is in danger of deterioration and as the equipment required to use it becomes harder to find. We provide the instructions and patrons can control how they digitize their materials.

The Studio 330 Media Lab is a designated space for audio/visual recording projects such as podcasting and oral histories. Patrons may use their own equipment, at the library’s discretion, or use available library equipment, such as microphones, in conjunction with their Media Lab reservation.

A Makerspace is an independent workspace inside the library that provides patrons with various machines, tools, and technology to explore, build, collaborate, and create.
