The Hundred-Thousand Photo Rescue Project: Turning Mountains of Photos into Digital History
Many photo scanning services stop at a shoebox, but ScanMyPhotos has taken it much further with bulk photo scanning. This is a 100,000-photo rescue package that revolutionizes the way archivists, corporations, and families manage their entire photo collections.
A Radical New Tier in Photo Preservation
For decades, the photo digitization industry has circled the same small orbit: boxes of 200, 500, maybe 1,000 photos. That’s the comfort zone. Easy to ship. Easy to scan. ScanMyPhotos just broke out of that orbit. The Irvine, CA–based company, with 35 years of experience and more than one billion photos preserved, has launched the first consumer-facing 100,000-photo scanning package — price tag: $30,000.
This isn’t another “shoebox solution.” It’s industrial-scale preservation now available to institutions and families with massive archives. One example was the Cayman Islands’ TimeBack project, which aimed to archive their 57-year history in pictures. The spark to design this new service came from the landmark partnership with the Cayman Islands, as ScanMyPhotos scanned the entire project. Working with Compass Media and Dart, ScanMyPhotos digitized 347,000 negatives spanning decades of island history. The project wasn’t just about scanning. It included historians, journalists, and community voices to bring the archive alive. It culminated in a social media movement and a national gallery exhibit. That model — industrial capacity paired with cultural storytelling — shaped the 100,000 Photo Rescue Project.
Why It Exists
Museums, universities, corporations, and historical societies aren’t sitting on a few boxes. They’re sitting on vaults. Millions of prints. Entire legacies at risk. Until now, large orders were handled behind closed doors with vague custom quotes. The new package is different. It productizes bulk scanning the way small boxes are sold — clear pricing, transparent logistics, and fast turnaround.
Each Order Includes:
- 100,000 scans at 30 cents per image
- Free secured courier pickup and return
- GPS tracking for real-time shipment oversight
- A dedicated Photo Concierge Archivist to manage the project
- Choice of JPEG or upgrade to archival-quality TIFF
- It’s designed to scale. Two photos are digitized every second, and the first 10,000 files can be uploaded within days of receipt.

The 96% Problem
Why now? Because analog photos are disappearing in silence. When ScanMyPhotos asked customers when they last looked at their printed photos, the answer stunned even industry veterans. Ninety-six percent of photos hadn’t been seen since the day they were developed. That means almost every memory taken before the digital era is out of sight and at risk. Fading ink. Aging paper. Lost stories. Digitizing at scale doesn’t just rescue the images. It saves the context, the heritage, the intergenerational connections before they’re gone.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just another SKU. It’s a reframing of what the photo digitization industry can be. First-mover advantage: No other scanning service has marketed a 100,000-photo package. Proof of capacity: It signals that consumer-scale and industrial-scale can live under one roof. Stack 100,000 photos and you’d get a tower eight stories high. Or 56 banker boxes lined up in a warehouse.
Customer Reaction: Who Is This For? Not everyone will buy it. And that’s the point. Institutions: museums, universities, government archives, legacy collections, employee history projects, wealthy families: heirs preserving entire lifetimes of prints. For the other 99% of customers, the impact is different: credibility. If ScanMyPhotos can handle 100,000, your single photo shoebox feels safer than ever.
Lessons Learned
The Cayman Islands project left three takeaways:
- Scale matters. Large volumes create efficiencies and urgency.
- Storytelling adds value. Archives come alive when stories are shared.
- Logistics must be bulletproof. A courier service, GPS tracking, and personal oversight all contribute to building trust.
The new package reflects all three.
The Bigger Picture
In an era of climate disasters, analog fragility, and generational disconnect, the 100,000 Photo Rescue Project is less about a $30,000 price tag and more about setting a bar. It says to the world: memories aren’t just boxes in closets. They’re national treasures, family heirlooms, and cultural archives.
