I hope we can make digitization into something like a maker space in libraries-- you can bring things over and walk away with a URL or a thumbdrive.

@baltakatei recipies are one of those things that do not have copyright problems (as I understand it).

@brewsterkahle Scanning mom's #LDS Relief Society recipes was fun too, although probably fraught with copyright issues. #Mendon #Utah #recipes

@brewsterkahle Yes, please. I ended up making my own setup for capturing family photos from the 1960s/1980s that were stuck on slides. I'm lucky since I happened to already own the most expensive equipment and had enough excess cash to buy the required macro lens.
Most families probably end up just tossing their collections or letting them get lost in fires or floods.
