I would like to scan hundreds of old photo prints. I've heard of scanmyphotos.com and scansafe.com but I'm hesitant about mailing my photos across the US and have them get lost or damaged. So I would like to drop them off to a location to get scanned. Can anyone recommend a scanning service in the NYC, NJ or southern CT area?

Your question is only applicable for a very small geographic area and falls beyond the scope of this site. You're more likely to get a more useful answer by looking in your local business listings, or asking at your local, friendly, camera store. – Rowland Shaw♦ Dec 29 '10 at 12:36

NYC and NJ are small geographic areas? This is some of the most densely populated areas of the US. – Sajee Dec 29 '10 at 16:50
@Rowland is right, though perhaps not particularly tactful in his explanation. Questions with a local-only scope are off-topic, even if it's a big local (though keep in mind that NYC and the surrounding metro, while a large city, is only a tiny fraction of the global population and area). Sorry! – Reid Dec 29 '10 at 20:25
That's still only about a ten mile radius, this website aims to cover subjects with a global reach – Rowland Shaw♦ Dec 29 '10 at 20:32

It's kinda too late now, but I think the interpretation of "too localized" here is way too strict. Sure, it's local, but not really too local. The tiny fraction of people interested in scanning in the larger NYC metro area is probably greater than the audience for some of our on-topic questions above specific photographic techniques or particular niche camera technology. – mattdm Jul 27 '11 at 0:24

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.
