Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I don't have a specific model recommendation, but there's a specific feature I'd look for when buying a flatbed scanner and that is the ability to scan multiple photos with a single pass.
Provided you keep the photos apart/separated on the scanner, the software can automatically crop and save multiple images files from separate photos. It saves a ton of time.
Pretty much any flatbed scanner can be used to scan multiple at once, into separate files — it's down to what the software supports, rather than the hardware.
