My dad has three trunks of slides still in their carousels. We are working on digitizing his extensive photography collection, but I live in another city and am really the only one interested in doing the work. Luckily I work at an engineering company and my boss is letting me use the slide scanner.
Silly Questions Below:
- Can I just take the slides out and stack them in a shoebox - or will that damage the slides? I don't really have time to buy a specialized slide storage box.
- Will they get damaged in the X-ray machine? Listen, I simply don't know much.
- If anyone has experience with old Kodak projectors, particularly the the Kodak Carousel Projector 550, can I bug you with a couple of questions?
I'll try to post to a photography subreddit as well.
Thanks for you advice!
