Comment on Preserving your photos & documents digitally

That is what I did, had my family send me the photos to scan and return. Some of them opted to scan themselves and send to me, but I prefer to do it myself since I have a high-resolution scanner and I can't be sure of the quality of the scans they will send, but something is better than nothing. The only additional advice on this is to then make sure you have a good offsite backup program if you are the only person who has all the documents/photos in one place.

Thanks so much for you feedback!

I could scan them and make sure they are preserved, then I mailed the originals back. If they do not want to risk mailing originals, ask them to scan the photos or have them scanned and sent to you so that you can make sure all the photos and documents about your family are in one safe location.
