Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I have the Epson FastFoto FF-680W which does a pretty good job imo. I'm not expert and just have family photos / documents, but it works.
Edit to add it is a little pricey but it can scann at 1200 dpi if you want a super high res scan. This higher dpi does take quite a bit longer than the quick scan that does 300 dpi.
