It's a very simple procedure, especially if you already have a scanner you must know how to scan. If you choose to not try it yourself, you may want to give thought to recruiting a student to come to your home and work on the project and pay him. I guess I would suggest you call the school here in TV and talk to the staff about this. I would be cautious to not trust a stranger, but to trust someone who has been recommended as being trustworthy and capable of the job. It would no doubt be less expensive than having Wal-Mart or the like send it out, if they do that sort of business. The student would no doubt be pleased to earn the money.

Suggestion: I would NOT take the pictures and have them done anywhere but your home. Those pictures are your treasure and to leave them with a stranger, I would not let them out of my sight!! They are irreplaceable!!
