It's A Digital Disease!

I read some (roughly 50) books when I was a teenager, mostly religion and philosophy books in the good old paper format. I have taken lots of notes on the margin and made a lot of underlining and commenting. They are all at my moms back in my home country and I would like to archive them. I already host and archive documents and media which I access with one or two services with ease. What it would take to bring these books into the archive. Scan them probably, but how ? What service could be the best to store these?

My ultimate goal is to store and be able to index text. Regardless whether this is a website, article, blog posts or a PDF of a scanned old book.
