The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Last year I found some home movies from the 1990s that I sent to LegacyBox to be digitized.

Not cheap, and surprisingly slow, i.e. 2-3 months to get them back. But, when I did get the thumb drive back (along with the original tapes) they had done a really good job. I would use them again

Looks like they also do photographs: legacybox.com - Photo scanning service

The current "sale" has photo scanning at $160 for 250 photos (plus tacking on things like package tracking for another fifteen bucks or so). Like I said, not cheap and in fact bordering on avaricious.

(Note that LegacyBox always seems to be having one sale or another, hence the quotation marks. The current one is a "Valentine's Day Sale")

I've also scanned old family photos, especially B&W, on the home HP laser printer. They've turned out well, but I wouldn't want to try to do more than a few at a time

HTH
