I want to have them converted to digital, any recommendations.

I just had approximately 2000 family photos scanned to a dvd from a company called scan my photos dot com. They really seemed to know their stuff and I believe I got the best price after doing a lot of research.

They also do slides -- check their various deals and look at their frequent promos. They have pricing for small quantities. Or you can purchase a "box" for under $200 that will fit about 540 slides. There are different deals so read carefully. Also check groupon since they sometimes offer deals with this company.

I am about to use a company callled southtree dot com in order to convert old vhs tapes to dvd. I believe they do 8mm as well.
