Hello Pamela, welcome to WikiTree. With the easy access to multi-purpose copier/scanner/printers an obvious first step would be to create digital images. Then OCR software, which is getting increasingly more capable, can be applied to extract a lot of the data. Looks like you are in the USA, so there should be someone somewhere close who would be willing to help or even take charge of the whole effort. If you are near the CA Central Coast then I could be that person.
