Has anyone digitised an old family photo collection - talking hundreds, probably thousands of prints. What equipment did you use, how long did it take you, anything to look out for?

I used a scanner with a document feeder for same-size photos. It wasn't the greatest quality, but sufficient for our needs.

 

It would have been way too much to use a flatbed scanner.

 

I have some more to do now, but stuffed if I can find the scanner in our messy garage!
