Hi, I've never made a forum post on here before, and I'm not familiar with how to search for specific topics. Sorry if I'm writing this in the wrong place.

I have played daily matches with my online friend off and on for about 4 years now. I haven't ever taken chess too seriously, I just have fun playing. I started a new job at a retirement home last month working with the elderly, I saw one of the residents had a chess board so I asked him if he wanted to play sometime. Long story short he's been kicking my ass everyday for a month while teaching me a lot about the game. He has a condition that makes it almost impossible to even move his own pieces, and so this week he showed me these huge plastic tubs full of thousands of games some being 40-50+ years old that he has recorded on paper. He asked if I could enter some of them into a database online since he's never been able to. I would love to do it, but I have no clue where to upload them by hand or if that's even possible? Is there somewhere I can input these games under his name or something like that? Have no clue where else to ask this.

Do you know how to read and write Chess notation?

That would be the first step.

Once you know Chess notation, you can attempt to read his notes and enter them using the Analysis page.

Yeah, I read something about downloading a png? of the match. So I was planning on playing a bunch of them out move by move on the board and recording the full games with obs. then downloading the png and uploading them to a playlist on my youtube account so he can rewatch his oldest games move for move. Have no clue where this falls under the confidentiality policy with sharing personal details, so I crossed those details out for now. I'm sure it'd be okay to share with permission. There's thousands of these, though. Is there some kind of public database to upload them to?

Did the image upload? I can't see it, it has everything notated move for move on all the papers. Unless you mean something different altogether.
