Alison's mom just sent us a box full of old snapshots (dating from the 40's to the early 90's), and I'm faced with the daunting task of making sure they're preserved. Many have writing on the back, identifying the photo, so my scanning job is almost doubled from the get-go, unless I just record what's on the back in some document that is somehow linked to the image (of course I'm writing out some database app in my head and looking on CPAN for perl modules that control scanner's :-)
So before I re-invent the entire wheel and wheel accessories industry, does anyone have some tips? If this works out well for this, I might even tackle our many boxes of pre-digital photos ad then on to MY moms mammoth collection (Dad had a friend in the photography biz when I was younger and he used to get odd-sized rolls of film for their cost, which meant nearly free, so there are a LOT of b&w photos of us kids in the early to mid-60's) -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
