Where can I get an old framed photograph copied?

I have been bequeathed a framed photograph of my grandmother as a child taken in 1920. It is in it's original frame with brown paper holding the photo in at the back of the frame. There are many family members who would like a copy made, but I am unsure where to take the photo to ensure that neither the photo or the frame are damaged. I live near King's Lynn in Norfolk, but am willing to travel (within reason) to find the right person for the job.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful.

Answers:
scan it into your computer and then print as many copies as you like
Any independant photographers will be able to make a negative and then as many copies as you want. Look in Yell.com for independant photographers in your own area.
take it to any photographers or printer, as long as it does not have a copy right stamp/ photographers stamp on back - should not be a problem.
Any photographer's studio can and will do that for you. I had one taken in 1906 of my mother and all four of her siblings. It was faded and badly ripped. The studio restored the photo, mended the rip, enlarged it, and then made a couple of reproductions (copies) for me. I treasure that photo as I am sure you will. I don't remember the cost, but it was well worth every penny!

Good luck!!
Try Jessops,I think they offer what u want..chk out there web site first.Or as others have suggested a local photographer might have the relevant equipment,try the local papers or Yellow Pagers/Thomson.

Good luck
Go to the local photo shop. They have professionals there that can get the job done. That is of course their job.
God's own county, come originally from Sunny Hunny myself, not the caravan end! Now my daughter is an RAF photographer. They have all the latest kit, provided by us tax payers, for photographic reproduction and enhancement. The training these people get is second to none. You have two options, contact your nearest RAF base and ask for the photographic section. They all do private work, quite legitimately, as it is seen as a continuation of their training and enhancement of their skills, or alternatively send me a letter with your contact details and I will pass it on to my daughter. She will have to remove the photo from the frame, however there is no reason why either the frame or photo should be damaged and when the job is done, the photo will be re-mounted in the frame for you.
The address to write to is Aston Firs, 42 Halton Fenside, Nr. Spilsby, Lincs. PE23 5BD. My daughter is based at RAF Wadington, just outside Lincoln.
be carefull if you take it to a photography shop as i did once you go there they own the copyright to the negative and you have to get all your prints from them so try to get it done on a computer by a friend or some one then they can save the image to disc and give it to you and then you can print as many as you want hope this helpd good luck
How about taking your own digital picture of it?
Most local film developers will have a lab they can send it too.
I might be worth making a few calls locally
