photo scanning

[zmook.livejournal.com]

I've just gone through a couple of shoeboxes of old pictures, and now I have about a hundred photos (mostly 3x5s and 4x6s) that I want to get scanned so I can mail them around.  Can anyone suggest a good local place that'll do that for me?  I don't want to have to scan them all myself, and I don't want to mail them away (I want to be sure of getting the original prints back, not least because usually the notes written on the back of these pictures are the only way I have of dating them).

You might give Dorian Color Lab in Arlington a call. I've used them for scanning slides and printing enlargements and their quality is very good. High resolution scanning is not cheap (sigh).

Cameras Inc. in Davis Sq. advertises that they do scanning; I have not used their scanning service however. They send, or at least used to send, some kinds of jobs to Dorian Lab, maybe scanning is one of them.

I'm not encouraged by the way the "Digital Services" link on Dorian Color Lab's web site (http://www.dorianlab.com/) is a 404 error.

I've also not been impressed with Camera Inc - Dorian did have a great rep - I haven't done much with them so they still may have the great rep - just a sucky website
