So, after digging through my mom's storage locker, I've come across a whole bunch of old photos and slides (6+ full boxes going back to my parents' youth ~1950s).

Where/how can I get them all digitized and on disc?

TIA

5 Simple Tips to Digitize and Organize Old Photos (http://mashable.com/2013/02/04/digitize-photos/)


If you’re not into manually feeding each image into a scanner, sites like GoPhoto, Snapfish and ScanMyPhotos will gladly accept a box of your old photos and turn them into digital delights. These services can often improve your images, as well as provide a DVD or CD. Expect to pay as low as $0.08 per photo (for large bulk orders from ScanMyPhotos) or up to $0.44.

Photo-preservation sites like ScanDigital.com offer additional services, such as translating video and film footage onto DVDs. DigMyPics and ScanCafe are also worth checking out. If sending your precious pics through the mail makes you uneasy, visit a store that offers restoration services, like Walgreens.
