I inherited a ton of old black and white photos, of which I have scanned and sent some to people I recognize. Nobody wanted the physical copies.

I feel bad throwing them all out. But they are taking up space. Any suggestions on what to do with them? Art projects? Donations?

    I have inherited the family’s photo archive which goes back before 1900. I keep it safe, and add to it as needed.

    It’s a history of my family, so I don’t want it destroyed. Of course, other people may be less sentimental. It’s your choice :-)

      Some people don’t have the space. My mother keeps giving me stuff but I live in an apartment without additional storage.

        That’s a fair point. Personally, I value photos more than just about any other possession. I have a proper backup routine for all my digital ones, too.
