I finally found and sorted through my archives of photos -- several shoeboxes worth -- and I was about to take them to Walgreens for scanning at $2.99 ($3.99?) per CD, with about 100 pictures per CD. And then I found out that they changed the pricing model about a month ago. Now it's 39 cents per photo (with a minimum of ten photos).

So does anyone know about a scanning service that's comparably priced? I'll scan 'em myself if I absolutely have to, but this was going to be a great way to put almost 15 years of photography onto Flickr with a Creative Commons license. (I've already had photos used by a Scandinavian newspaper and (soon) a British physics journal.)

Damn, damn, DAMN my delay!

I've been searching for something similar.
Thus far, that's the cheapest I've seen. :*(

At those rates, it might be cheaper to buy a scanner.

I've got one, but it's put away because I lack a workspace. I'd more likely take a small box to campus and use a good scanner there for an hour, then flickr those photos and go home (or save to my iPod, go home, and flickr them).

Hey, that's not a bad idea. ;)

I don't know if it's a "good" scanner, but we do have a scanner now, the one I've been using to make pictures of the flat ornamnets I've been eBaying.
