The % of saved photos went up dramatically after I got to the ones with my kid in them. Close to 50% in that batch after getting rid of the duplicates. If I really want I can always cull them further another time. Next step is going to be to organize them by date and trip, and then I'll probably photograph them either individually or in groups. I figure I've got about 1000 or so (about a 10" stack). It was a lot of fun seeing the old pictures and remembering trips. Photographing them may be less fun. I may check out one of the scanning links people mentioned now that the size is reasonable, but I'll probably just take pics at my leisure.
Now, do I really toss the non-keepers, or do I just label the boxes as such, and shove them back on the top closet shelf? I'm probably going to do the latter so I can take one more pass through them another time, but if I never get to it, it'll be easy to toss them when I finally move or am gone. It's also nice to know that I've got the savers down to one box that I can grab in case of evacuation.
