Digitising old 8mm home movies - Wikimediauk-l

7 Sep 2015

I have inherited a bunch of 8mm  home movies dating from 1958 to 1980. Most
are of family holidays visiting various landmarks in Europe.

There are about 10 reels. Each reel is 400ft which is about 90 minutes (I
think).

I want to get these digitised and post them under a CC-BY-SA license then
cut up into short sections related to particular wikipedia articles and
added to Commons. There is probably more than half of the movies which can
be used this way (we visited a lot of cool places)

I have been quoted £1000 to digitise these. Anyone know of other options
for digitising these?

Has anyone got suggestions for the best way to do this?
