What would be the cheapest and most efficient way to share a quantity of 35mm slides among several people?

Asked by Jeruba (55836points) May 21st, 2011

My late mother’s household is being dismantled. Her four children are each adopting various belongings that mean something to us.

There are boxes of 35mm slides—family pictures, mostly of our childhood. All of us have an interest in them. We also all live far apart.

Trying to scan or print or duplicate hundreds of slides (and attach names and dates to them that are just written by hand on the frames) to share among siblings would be a nightmare.

Is there an easy and inexpensive way to, say, get sheets of contact prints made, or scanned thumbnails, or something, that would allow each of us to identify slides that are of interest? Or—if this were your problem, how would you solve it?
