Well that is your only choice to scan the all in one by one, some scanners are made for photo scanning and come with an add on that allows you to scan in the negatives that come with the photos

Photography Forum, may have more luck there.

If they're only 4x6 or 6x8 though, you'd do them yourself in a few hours with a half decent scanner, 600dpi resolution and save them as tiffs or pngs. Not Jpeg.

You don't really have to do them one by one, you won't notice the difference.
