Photo Scanning can be divided into 4 classifications.
- The big production locations like those named above and a number of others where you will most likely have to box your photos up and send them to their central scanning location.
- Regional photo scanning services mostly serving/operating in a primary geographical area where clients can work directly with the provider.
- Photo organizing/scanning services that come to your location and work on-site.
- And, finally the D.I.Y. project folks.
There is new listing: http://photoscanningforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2 , currently being created that has identified over 800 photo scanning services throughout the U.S. from the first 3 groups that hopes to offer a way for individuals to research the best answer for them, including finding solutions to rent professional equipment for those who are looking for a DIY photo scanning project.
