Scan them and distribute to other family members with as much information as you can gather about the picture.

I kept telling my dad, "details don't count if they are in the attic and no-one else knows they are there"...
A frustrating thing I've found is that few photos seem to have details on the reverse. I have lots of my nans photos of people in wartime etc but havent a clue who they are. I also have a postcard of my great grand dad who seems to be at some sort of ceremony but there is no info on the postcard to tell me why the photo was actually turned into a postcard?
