    I think they’re asking for an automated way to scan in a bunch of photos, instead of doing it one by one on a scanner. Which I’m not sure if there’s a good solution for that besides paying someone else to do it

      There are self feeding scanners. I used to use them for work in medical offices. They’re also great for taxes to keep track of receipts. You can feed like 50 pages at a time with the one I had and they always scan perfectly. This was years ago but it was pricey.

        Yeah there’s a ton of ADF scanners out there. But when OP said they don’t want to damage them I figured they had something fragile they didn’t want to feed through one.

          OOH. That makes sense. I never even considered that. Maybe one of those wand scanners would work? I think the quality on those is usually pretty bad though?
