I am wanting to back up all of my personal photographs, but I do not
have the time to scan them in.
Do you know of a service (in the UK) that would be able to do this?
I am looking online as I need it to be as cheap as possible (I have
around 500 photos)
Thanks

Tried them both

Do you have all the negatives?
You may find that a specialist photographic company can scan them much
more cheaply than individual prints.
If it is prints, ae they all of the same size, or do you have 2 or 3
different sizes of print to deal with?

I don't have negatives.
Most are 6x4, about 95%
a couple are larger/smaller

Hi Arcsbite,
I do this for collegues, friends and family already. I can scan in 500
photos in 48 hours and pricing depends on the size of the photos...
generally 10p-15p per pic and £1.00 per cd/dvd. I also add comments
should you wish and also provide slide show dvd's for an extra £7.5
per disc (about 100 photo's).
If you would like to contact me direct my email is
oscar@drop-zone.demon.co.uk if you send me details of the majority
size (ie 450 6 x 4, half or remainder 10 x 12 rest A4 etc etc) and
ratio of larger, I would send you a quote asap.
Best wishes, Oscar
