Save the ones I like and look at them once in a while. Delete the ones I don’t like, this is ongoing as a year or more later I decide I don’t like it. And when I die I don't care and likely no one else will either. I know that my Architecture should last for at least another 100 or so years. That is good enough for me.

Some people collect stamps, others coins, others cars, cameras, etc - I collect photos.

Me too...I collect photos, never deleted a one. I have nearly 450,000+ since 2006. All stored on DVD's and all readable.

I have 22,000 digital photos from old prints, slides, scans, and a succession of digital cameras in iPhoto, in which I manage them by key word and other description criteria. My wife's and my iMacs when not in use run selected slideshows of our favorite criteria. At the present, my show is a random display of our European vists, starting in 1957 and ending two years ago. Her present show is a random display of our youngest grandson, starting at birth.
Where once we set up the slide projector or got down a box or two of old photos, we now very much enjoy regular views of aspects and phases of our lives.
Further, at parties and family affairs, soon many are tuned into the shows as they travel with us down memory lanes.

The ones I shoot for "clients" (mostly motor racing and classical music concerts) are uploaded to a website for their memories.
The personal ones (family/vacations etc) - some are uploaded to a web site so the family can enjoy them. Others may be printed out and displayed around our home for our memories (my partner's memory is failing so it helps a bit).

Delete the bad ones, usually more than half. Save the others and occasionally look at them.

I hang them in two art galleries and a home goods type store for sale and sometimes they do. I enter them, digitally, into photography competitions and sometimes get in so print them and take them there for hanging and sometimes get a prize or ribbon and sometimes they sell. I give some photos away to friends. I also enter a photo every year into an auction for a public television station and sometimes get asked to provide a photo for other non-profit uses and I do. I share them with two photo clubs and at one photo group meeting at my home. I put them on Flickr. I put them on Facebook. I print them and hang them in my home. I look at them in Lightroom almost daily and love them dearly. I put them on my two websites. I like to get them out there and I'm always looking for ways to do that.

What is the best way to make a digital copy of old photos, scan them, take digital pictures of them? I am currently going through the old prints and throwing away most of them because the quality I see is poor compared to my digital ones. I basically am keeping only some for reference or a moment that I can not go back and capture.

They're sitting on my computer. Just waiting. I also have a dozen or more albums full of prints from the old days.

Every day or couple of days I remove shots from the memory card that are no good sometime after I am done shooting. Each month or so I take my best shots and either put them in a cloud or on a thumb drive or both. Then once a year I do it again for the ones I have saved each month, then I have the best shots of the year. I do not remove any shots from the memory cards. I label the memory cards and file them. On my best of the year images their is an index on the image telling me which memory card the shot came from.

I have scanned thousands of old photos and a majority I did not take. But they are family ones of people, the places we lived going back to Mexico and others of historical interest. Old slides and prints I made that really have no intrinsic value I pitch unless it is one I just like to look at. If there is some historical value (Not just another of millions of shots taken of some bird, flower or public place) I keep them. Otherwise I do not scan them.
