Scanning will get you the best quality. A lot of places that offer printing of digital photos (Walgreens, Osco Drug, Walmart) also provide scanners. To correctly take a photo, you will have to mount them individually on a wall and shoot with a tripod in order to not warp the image or have it crooked in the digital version.

If high quality is not important, just start taking pictures. Experiment. It's free, isn't it? Try backing out a ways and then cropping the image. You will need to use "transform" or "correct for camera distortion" to square things up. If you need a quality job, you're just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a scanner. Epson is closing out my printer/scanner now for $130. Check out the Stylus Photo RX620 at http://www.epson.com If you have lots to do, it will be worth it and you'll get a great scanner/printer out of the deal.

BUY A SCANNER!
The quality is much better. The last scanner I bought was by Memorex on sale for $25... its not like you won't need it for other things too!
