How to scan old photos safely


I recently acquired a book of black and white photos from when my dad was young. The photos were taken around 1921 and they look to be in good shape for the most part. I am worried that a scanner would flood the images with too much light and cause them to fade at a higher rate. Is this the case, or can I safely scan them?
