You should be able to scan both sides into a single file . PaperPort will allow this easily. Paul A.

I was wondering if I could get some input as to what everyone is doing. Are you scanning both sides of the photo? I have some names written on some. For a few I recognize my husband's handwriting and recall that he wrote the info about 10 years ago probably when we went through the images. How are you tying the 2 sides together? with names? combining them together in one image? I've been adding the photographer's name and his location if they were taken by a professional. It seems that some history of the image or things that you may have learned might be interesting in the future. I have some photos of neighbors, that evidently became friends as they had the photos. I only figured this out from looking at the census and who lived close to them. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Is there a source that addresses how one might handle this?
