Default What I did on my summer vacation

I bought a dedicated slide/film scanner and started to scan all my old negatives of family photos. Its a long process in order to get the highest resolution possible which is needed due to the small size of the slide or negative. The plan is to use some quiet evenings while at the camp this summer to make a dent in the project.

Another option is to outsource the process. There's at least one company that offers scanning service performed in India. As I recall they post all the scanned images online and you pay for the ones you want. That assumes you can accept that your slides will be sent to the other side of the world and safely returned.
