We can only scan loose photographs, so please remove them from albums and also try to make sure there’s nothing stuck to them. Glue, tape, photo corners, staples, paperclips, post-it notes etc will all cause a problem for our scanning machine so we need you to remove them from your pictures.
Put your photographs into envelopes and then if you have a lot of envelopes, put them in a cardboard box to stop them from being damaged. If you want your pictures scanning in a certain order, organise them into the order that you require them to be sorted in the file folder on your USB memory stick/DVD.
Write on the envelope what you would like that file folder to be called (eg. May 1989 – Holiday in Majorca)
Read our Preparing your photos page for detailed information about getting your pictures ready for us to scan.
