I just read this post over at Genea-Musings and since I’ve been on the topic of preserving family history (both oral and written) I thought I’d bring up the subject of scanning old photos. While going through my father’s stuff I’ve found lots of old photographs a few of which are in pretty bad shape. I have a flatbed scanner and I really need to get to work on getting them scanned. But then it hit me… I also have thousands of other photos sitting around! These are mostly from the 60s through the 90s. HOW do I scan them all? Is there an affordable service that will digitize them for me? Or perhaps a special scanner I can buy? Time to start doing some research…
