My 2 bob worth: I am told by professionals in photography that anything in paper or photo form should be nicely photographed by by professional photographers first. This would finish up in archival materials - negatives, slides, and photos. You can, then, scan the photographs into a magnetic/optical medium. The result would be much better than simply scanning the same materials, and much less destructive, too. There has been a lot of talk on this list about the "permanence" of CD's and how it has been proven (or viceversa) so far.All the best!
