Family Photo Guides

Practical answers for dealing with old family photographs, albums, slides and negatives. These guides are for the questions that usually come before somebody knows whether they need a scanning service at all.

You can use them whether you plan to do the work yourself or would rather hand the collection to Only Yesterday.

Start with the problem you have

• What should I do with boxes of old family photographs?
• Do I need to sort photographs before scanning them?
• What should I do with inherited family photographs?
• What is the best way to digitise old photo albums?
• Should I keep old negatives after scanning them?

If you would rather not do it yourself

Only Yesterday scans and organises loose photographs, albums, slides, negatives and larger mixed family collections. You do not need to count or sort everything before contacting us. Show us what you have and we will help work out the next step.
