SHORTHAND DICTATION

Now that I had them all in a stack I had to consider how to properly* store and display them again. They would have to be scanned first of course. There were* other boxes of prints, which  had never been put into albums. They would have to be scanned as well, in order to be able to* get everything in subject and date order. I also had some boxes of very old family photos inherited from relatives, ranging from small home produced efforts to large professional prints of special events. More careful high res scanning would be required for those. The job was indeed growing by the minute, as I rummaged about for every photo I could find in the house. A comprehensive scanning session was the priority, starting with the oldest ones, as nothing could be put into books until that had been done.
