Billions of family photos gather dust in closets and attics. What do we do with all these old photos? The answer is to digitize them! Digitize family photos to organize and preserve memories for future generations. Whether you are making a memory quilt or starting a scrapbook, scanning your photos is a great first step. Learn how to organize photos, the types of scanners available at the library, digital storage options, and the best file formats for different projects.
