For the photos, any half decent flatbed should be ok, but you may need a flatbed with neg scanning abilities for the weird sized cut negatives. I have many family negs from similar period and a lot of the single negatives are not 120 roll film, but all sorts of weird sizes. Whatever is possible, it's going to be a big job. Nige.
