1) First, be sure all the slides are neatly arranged in neutral boxes and keep them in very good condition : dry and cold (constant) place - slides might be damaged in less than 70 years.
2) Select some of them (maybe 300 or 500) for the web, then scan them in jpeg
3) Select the very best ones (50? 80?) and scan them in top quality (high res, Tiff or DNG files) and produce something with (an auto-edition book, prints for an exhibition…).
You know, editing (selection + production) is always the best job we can do with pictures : magnifying artistic works, telling stories, showing results…
I like very much those you shown to us; it seems like a Casavetes's movie
I'm placing all of them in archival slide pages after I scan them. Not back in the box... I do have Portfolio Page holder that keeps them in the dark, and I do keep them in the air conditioned apt.
My dad kept then in an indoor storage building that was air conditioned also... it looks like an office building from the outside, but, inside, had 1000's of units.
Is there a reason why I should put them back in the original boxes? It's easier to store them in slide pages with cross references to the folder name.
Thanks for advice. And comments. I guess a few years easy...maybe more 😱...But the memories and photos I have never seen before is worth it.
