It's okay if they don't want them any more themselves, but there is a thriving collector's community for such and they could be rehomed so very easily.<br /><br />Thank goodness to no end that you were able to intervene, Ally, and ask her to at least scan them. <br /><br />These photos are immensely lovely and the fact that the people in them aren't known matters little (if at all) to those for whom each snippet of the past and "forgotten face" is worth its weight in gold.<br /><br />Thank you for preserving, if only in digital form, these beautiful images.
