How To Scan And Archive Old Photos

Before we started to store pics in our smartphones, people usually stored them in boxes. Each time I go through our old family photos, I see how my dad once had more hair than the whole Bonnie M group, and I think to myself, this should really be preserved for future generations.

Do you know this as well? Did you dig out the old pics you want to scan and keep on in the shoe boxes? All you need is a mobile phone and one application.
