Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I recall seeing some discussion about this over on original DataHoarder. I'm looking to begin the process of archiving a daily large number of 8x10 prints of family photos.

Anyone have recommendations on scanners / tools to make this process go smoother?

I don't really want to send these photos to a company, as they're just too sentimental to risk loosing.

FYI, the V600 is CCX (excellent quality but very expensive) while the V39 is CIS (okay quality but much cheaper).
