[Genealib] Scanning Parties at Your Library

[May Chan]

Hi,

My library is celebrating its centennial next year but we seem to keep
recycling the same historic photos of the library for every major event.  I
am hoping to make a call out into the community to see if we can gather
additional photos of the library, staff, programs, etc. to use for our
publicity next year.

Hence, I was wondering if any of you have ever hosted a scanning party at
your library where you have invited members of the community to bring in
their historic photographs so you can scan them, burned them onto a DVD and
then uploaded copies of the images onto a photo-sharing website such as
Flickr?  If so, could you please email me off the list with any advice you
would like to share?

Thank-you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

May
