Get Ready for Scanfest!

If you're like me, you've got dozens hundreds of old photos in piles, boxes, and albums laying around, cluttering up your house, and you just haven't had the time or motivation to get them scanned.

Have no fear... Scanfest is coming!

What is Scanfest? According to Sally Jacobs, The Practical Archivist:

...it's like a quilting bee for those wanting to preserve their family records, documents, and photographs. We all know how tedious scanning can be! Wouldn't it be fun to visit with other like-minded family historians while doing so? With the instant messaging technology of Windows Live Messenger, we do exactly that! We chat with each other about genealogy, preservation, sports, neighborhood news, recipes, and just about anything under the sun while we slowly reduce scanning "to do" lists.

The first Scanfest of 2008 will be held on Sunday, January 27th, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST.

I hope to "see" you there!
