How To Store My Diaries

I've written a diary every day since I was 12, and now have over 40 books. Obviously, I can't scan every page, but I could take a photograph of every page, which would be much quicker and easier on my spine. Someone suggested that I could buy a phone specifically for this purpose so it doesn't use up all my memory on my normal phone.
Someone suggested that I could buy a phone specifically for this purpose so it doesn't use up all my memory on my normal phone. Any ideas on the best way to do this? I can't afford £500 on another iPhone just for this purpose!

I can't really see how it's going to be much quicker to photograph the pages of your diaries than to scan them.
However (unlike iPhones) just about every Android phone allows you to expand its memory by inserting a microSD card into it. So a simple £60 phone, such as this one

can have an extra 256 GB of memory added to it by inserting a microSD card of that size.

That would typically give you over 80,000 pictures. (If you didn't need that many pictures, you could save money and buy a microSD card with less memory. If, amazingly, you needed more pictures, you could buy additional cards).

I recently borrowed my Head teachers logbooks from school. She is now in her 90s. I sat on a very squishy sofa and just went snap snap snap using my phone. The quality was almost as good as a scan And took a fraction of the time.
Buen- would this do anything?

^^^ If you're going to be transferring images from your iPhone to somewhere else, it would make more sense to me to keep taking pictures with your iPhone until its memory is nearly full, copy those across to your PC, delete the images from your iPhone and start the same process once more. I can't really see the need for a card reader.
Buy an adapter to allow you to connect a USB drive to your iPhone:

Buy a USB drive, plug it into the adapter and transfer your diary photos onto the drive.

Dave – I will continue to hold onto my actual diaries, hoping they don't go in the skip when I die. It's really just backing up The physical books, just in case anything was to happen to them, I would have a digital copy.
You could copy your existing phone photos elsewhere, check they're ok, then delete them from the phone. Use the phone memory as suggested and when all the "scan" photos are saved on a computer via the phone, return your saved photos back to the phone.
Should you need to keep some of the originals on the phone at all time, just move some of them to give you the memory space you need.
