I had a LARGE box of photos from my great grand parents, on mom's side. Lots of cool stuff, but I have no kids and it would all go to the landfill when I am gone.
I have an Ancestry.com account, and a full tree. One of my distant cousins still has the Hoefer name and she was thrilled to see the scans I did, and posted to my account. I asked he if she wanted the box of memories, and she jumped at the chance. So I sent it all to her.
I scanned all the old family photos of dead relatives and posted them on Ancestry. I had a box a of 8mm movies that I digitized, and put them on YouTube for all the cousins to see. It is cool to see my parents wedding in color and lots of my relatives that were still young back then.
I still have a few boxes of 35mm color slides I need to scan. Someday.
