I would like to know the best way to bulk scan original photographs.
We probably have 1000s from over the years in a variety of shapes and sizes. I'd like to scan them in bulk (probably using some sort of
automatic photo feeder for a scanner), and then get them into iPhoto
for organizing and eventually publishing on the web.

I wasn't considering the option of using a service till Sfredbook brought them up. If this is a one time thing it might be worth it.
Just to make sure I have my options covered, does anyone have any success stories with bulk scanning them in themselves?

It is very time consuming. You really will have to do them ONE at a TIME because of the variety of shapes and sizes. Each one will have to be color, brightness and contrast balanced.
The alternative is to send them OUT to be scanned.
I have used this service for scanning SLIDES. They do prints too.

Consider this.. They charge $1.50 or less for the basic service, and you will be get started on your website much sooner. I recommend the basic service with the lower resolution, since you intend to publish this on-line. Again, you will be reducing these photos significantly from the original size, for quick downloading.
When the time comes to publishing on-line, consider the webhosting services at http://www.ipowerweb.com You get a great deal of website space for the price.
Good luck

Consider using a scanning service. The can do it faster than you because they have the experience, and they have much better equipment than you so the quality will be better. It is a one time expense, and you can use the time you save doing better things, like organizing the photos after they are scanned.

We have an HP scanner, printer, fax machine unit which has a document feeder. I haven't tried scanning photos in it but we use it for scanning and saving documents all the time. Maybe that will help you.
