We recently moved and so we decided to look through 40 years of family history. What memories! So, the pix are already showing some deterioration and it won’t be long before they’re really bad.
Do any of you Hoggers have any recommendations for a company that can scan these pix and put them on a thumb drive? It would be really great if They could be converted to a format that would allow at Least some PP. THANKS!

. . . I would recommend a slide/print scanner. Many are available for $300-500 and do a fine job.

I would recommend Epson mid-range scanners. I do some (limited volume) of scan/restoration and find them to be excellent.

I'm assuming that you can identify all the people in those pictures. If not, what good is it to archive them? I have dozens, if not hundreds, of photos I inherited from my parents but I can't identify 10% of them.
For the last 5 or so years of her life, my nearly blind (macula degeneration) 89 year old mother took on a project of scanning every old family photo she could beg, borrow or steal. I had taught her to use photoshop in her mid 70's so she edited the scans and inserted the names of the people in the photo along the bottom. After she died I saved the photos in her computer to multiple CDs, copied them and gave copies to all my sibling, children and cousins. What I now have on those CDs in pure gold. Mom saved the files in folders sorted by family or event. Some of the really old photos go back 2 generations before her.
This brings to mind the old Confucius saying: "The ox is slow but the earth is patient".

Isn't there a Rapid Scanner on the Market that will Scan Photos Faster on the Market?
Kodak has them at Target Stores that Still have Photo Kiosks & Sam's Club, I Don't Know if any of these Rapid Scanners are on the Market.
The Current Photo Scanners are Slow & Time Consuming to Scan a Photo.

When you have 2000 units, you send it to a service facility, unless you want it to become your full-time job for months.

& It Cost you a Arm & Leg to Send Out to Scan Photos, Negatives & Photos, Mainly Old Photos!
Image Makers Should Make it Easier for Consumer's to Scan Their Own Photos a Faster Way by Putting Out a Rapid Scanner by Selling a Home Version.
