Great I have it bookmarked now. Have to go back later and look at it.

I’m thrilled! This is already such a great adventure and there is so much more yet to come. I’ve hoped for this for quite a long time and now it has begun.

P.S. “Occasional”? Try daily visitor.

Teresa, we actually employ anywhere from two to four scanners for our remote sessions (depending on the amount of material). The next week or two ought to be a test of our group – we’ve had the benefit of picking and choosing our jobs up until now. With the group going public, I’ll be curious how many inquiries we field from folks wanting us to scan their photos and documents. (We have a committee and coordinator set up to ensure this remains an orderly process).

They do indeed, and I haven't seen the Traveling Hardware yet, so I can't tell you how they've addressed the matter. That said, RetroMetroOKC.org is live, with a little 30-second video opening for now. It is, of course, a work in progress.

Wow! What a very cool idea! I love the scanner thing and then getting the story without the photos ever having to leave the home! I would caution those doing the scanning… Scanners heat up. If there is lots of scanning to be done – it’s worth it not to try and cut corners by going faster. Otherwise – it will be most excellent. Let us know when there’s a link available.
