Well I'm going to try to tackle a photo mess for the family. I have boxes and boxes of loose photos ranging in age from early 1900's all the way up to present day. I also have a lot of negatives and slides but that will be after the photos are dealt with. I estimate I have 4k or more. some will not get scanned but many will. I guess before I get doing this I'm trying to figure a logical way to organize them. I was thinking of doing an excel spreadsheet and give each one a unique file so people can find what they are looking for. Additionally I'm trying to decide where to put them maybe google? I thought about drop box but then everyone that wants them will need to have an account and with the size I know it will be on the paid side. Any ideas about other options would be greatly appreciated. Additionally I'm going to set up a separate hard drive to store them as well.
Future project will be slides and negatives and I'll need to pick up a scanner to do them so if anyone has experiance with a good scanner for them let me know.
I've just never under taken such a project and I think my initial set up will be important to its sucess.
