We have not done that. 

BUT, WOW! What a great idea. Please let us know how it goes. I also would like to have email from anyone who has done it.

Thank you,

Subject: [Genealib] Scanning Parties at Your Library



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
