What is the cheapest/easiest/quickest/best way to digitize thousands of paper photos? I realize these four parameters may be mutually exclusive.

    For 3000 photos? A couple hundred bucks for a scanner and whatever you value approximately 67.5 hours of your time.

      And you can just sell the scanner “used” like I did after I was done scanning all my photos. It took piles of photos minutes, and I basically sold it for 75% as like new. Very worth temporarily owning it.
