Safely convert paper wallet to encrypted online wallet I started investing a not insignificant part of my salary into BTC a few years ago. I created 10 paper wallets (using bitcoinpaperwallet.com) on a dedicated laptop disconnected from the Internet. I then stored them in my office drawer however I no longer feel safe due to potential theft/elements etc. and I don't have access to a safety deposit box.

I want to digitize them and use strong encryption so I can store them on a few different servers that I own for redundancy. I don't need to regularly withdraw BTC from these wallets as they are for investment, I keep a separate small hot wallet on blockchain.info for spending. I'm confused as to how I should;

a) Digitize the paper wallets. I dont want to have to  manually enter the private keys and make a mistake. Is there software I can run on the disconnected laptop that can scan the QR codes for the private keys using the webcam? I know blockchain.info does this but the laptop doesn't have Internet access.
b) Once I have the private keys in a digital format (either in a plain text file or some wallet format) what form of encryption do you recommend. I'm currently planning on using PGP with 8k RSA keys.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
Not completely what you asked for, but if you have a significant amount of money in bitcoin it makes sense to store them on a hardware wallet like trezor, ledger, ... . These cost 100$ or less and are totally worth it for ease of use and peace of mind. 

I would sweep the paper wallets with mycelium and send the btc to your hardware wallet. This completely eliminates the threat of your computer being infected/hacked/etc. Since you have 10 paper wallets, I'm presuming the individual amounts might be ok to store on your phone for a few minutes.

Regarding storage, all addresses on the hardware wallet are generated starting from a 24 word seed. So you could write down 2 or 3 copies of this seed and distribute them in vaults/to trusted people. These 24 words can of course also be encrypted etc. If your hardware wallet breaks, all bitcoins can be retrieved by using these 24 words and a new compatible hardware/software wallet.
