[quote=Anonymous]I would organize them into categories or groups however you can.  If possible, by year/decade with a catchall for unknown.  Then have them all scanned in groups.  Even the bad ones.  Look for a local service that does it.  Maybe start a separate post to ask for recommendations.

I would then upload them to SmugMug.  It's a fantastic photo-sharing website -- I believe it's free for the basic service and a small annual fee for the upgrade (we opted for the upgrade so we could include videos of our kids in addition to photos.)

Here's why Smugmug is great: it's very easy to create different galleries and share photos on-line.  You can even set things so others can download the photos to their own computer from Smugmug (free to them and very easy.)  You can use  a password to keep everything hidden from Google searches but still accessible to family.  And you can adjust the settings so your family members can edit the titles or notes to identify people in the photos and/or add comments or even memories, so it can be a dynamic shared photo album.  Finally, depending on what information people add, you can easily move photos from one gallery to another to organize them better.
