Saving Memories

Family

Back in the 1950’s Steve’s Dad took a lot of color slide photos. Some of them he printed up as black and white photos. Some of the best he protected with glass plates on either side. We’ve realized that the plates have been collecting dirt through the years both on the outside and on the inside. We’re planning on taking them to be professionally scanned but have to remove the glass plates first. This is in addition to the hundreds of print photos we have scanned recently (and the thousands that we have scanned in the past).  It’s all a part of our desire to make the electronic versions of all these images available to all members of the family.
