There is a company in Salt Lake City that can digitize any media. I have taken them boxes of 8mm and VHS tapes to convert over the years. Doesn’t cost much and takes all the work out of it.

Maybe check out some of the options here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Film-Scanners/ci/1151/N/4042754050 Maybe skip over the ones that cost $1800-$35000. Or just take them to a local photo store or send them to a service for scanning. Probably you could do it at Walgreens or Costco, but I'm not sure about the quality. I have an Epson DS-510 at the office for scanning documents and it has worked fine, I would not hesitate to buy one of their flatbed scanners for prints, but I don’t think those are optimal for scanning slides even though they come with adapters. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Webster Sent: Friday, November 27, 2015 12:15 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: 35mm Slide Scanner My flatbed HP scanner has a slide adapter in the lid to do just this. If you don't have that I am pretty sure you can skill use a flatbed scanner for this. Mine also will scan negatives and set the proper colors.

Some of them are great family pictures, and historical to the area where they live. I'd love to be able to scan them so they're more easily viewable. Looking for recommendations for a good and easy to use Slide scanner that hopefully won't break the bank. Also, is there a file format which is better to use to be able to add notes to the picture. Like Date it was taken, and who is in the photo?
