Family photographs - what do
Family photographs - what do you do with them? This video will go over best practices for scanning these family treasures. Instagram: ancestrybyaimee Facebook: @aimeecross2
Family history is more meaningful when photographs are included. These treasures inherited are often lost or destroyed. What is the best way to digitize them, share them with family, and use them in genealogy research.
Should you buy a scanner, rent one or visit a library to scan your images? We will discuss all-in-one printer/scanners as well as other scanners available, including things to look for in a new scanner when wanting to scan family photos, negatives or slides.
Should you scan a black and white photo in color or black and white? What dpi is recommended? What format should you use? We will discuss tiff, jpeg and png's as well provide hints on labeling images.

A great company I've used to digitize some family 8mm video and other video recordings as well as audio recordings is LegacyBox. They even re-did a few things that didn't come out great - terrific customer service! (I have not received any compensation for this endorsement.) https://legacybox.com
