Default Old Photos - Capture Technique?

I haven't (yet) tried my hand at this - it's going to be tough.

I do have old photos for our monastic community that would be useful if we could restore them.

I am wondering if anyone here has advice about the method of capturing the old photo for digital work.
  • Some advise us to take a digital photo of the old images. They have various methods for keeping the photo flat and using lighting to make the resulting digital photo clear. It seems like a lot of work
  • Others advise us to scan the old photos, but give us advice about settings on the scanners
  • Some advise us to pay a lot of money for professional scanners from a local photography and publicity company
What do DPS readers think?
