How can a mobile scanner help you digitize, inventory and archive your genealogical research? We asked Diane Miller, technical marketing specialist for the
Flip-Pal mobile scanner.
Q. Why should genealogists scan
all photos and documents?
A. First, you protect the images when you scan and store multiple copies in multiple places so they don’t get lost [or ruined]. You can keep them accessible and organized on your computer, so you don’t have to shuffle through boxes and files to find them. Plus, digitizing photos is a great way to easily share them with grandchildren and others.
