Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Are you sitting on a pile of old family photographs and wondering what is the best way to preserve them? What about boxes of family vacation slides, photo negatives or home movies? As more and more Baby Boomers take on the task of organizing family history materials, we’re uncertain about the best way to preserve these memories. And an over-abundance of technology doesn’t help! This short guide, Digitization Options for Family Photos: Including Slides, Film Negatives, and Home Movies, offers various ways to map out a plan and process for family media preservation.There are various approaches you can take to scanning and digitizing these materials: send them out to a service or scan them yourself. Many of us don't feel comfortable sending our precious photos out so we take the “do it yourself” route. However, the DIY approach requires making the right choices when it comes to purchasing equipment and actually scanning items so that the resulting digital files are useful for genealogy research.The process becomes more complicated once you discover that you need to digitize items such as film negatives, slides, oversized photos, home movie film and more. Do you purchase one scanner to handle all of these items? Or must you spend money for specialized scanners that you’ll only use a few times? Digitization Options for Family Photos: Including Slides, Film Negatives, and Home Movies offers tips regarding digitizing items, with some sound advice on developing a comprehensive scanning program for items in your family archives. I hope you’ll find this guide useful!

Thomas MacEntee is brilliant. He doesn't beat around the bush; he tells it straight in a style that is as informing as it is engaging.At the end of the book (I read it in one sitting), you will know what to do with your boxed-up photos, slides, and film negatives.

This book is quick read but has a lot of good information and resources. Mr. MacEntee's book will help you to begin scanning your family photos, documents, and artifacts. For info on other topics, be sure to follow the links included in the book.

I liked the questions asked about various projects which helped me to decide how and what I'm going to do. I found the range of products out there to assist me surprising. I had no idea there was so much "out there". I was expecting a longer and more detailed discussion about options, though.

This "book" just gives suggestions not instructions. It is not a "how to set up a... ". It is a sales pitch for equipment. Probably good equipment but I was looking for suggestions on ways to organize and digitally handle photos not just equipment.

This book was a short read. I trust Thomas for good information and he has delivered. I now have more confidence that I can start my huge project organizing years of photographs and that I will do it correctly from the very start.

What I appreciated most about this book was the names of equipment recommended and the author's views on usage. Definitely feel I got some good information to help with all my family history, photos, slides, and negatives. Thanks

Digitization Options was not what I expected but it provided me with information about Apps, equipment, and resources that I am not familiar. It also let me know I had not wasted money on the items I have purchased.

It is an easy and fast read. Thomas provides what you need to know for whatever kind of digitization you want to do, and he names devise names so you know exactly what to look for.
