If you are interested in doing the slides yourself I’ve got a Nikon slide scanner for sale for a couple hundred bucks. I’m in Amelia

Download app Photomyne on your phone or iPad. Instantly converts slides and negatives to photos on your device. My daughter helped me turn 70 year old b/w negatives in color pictures. It was awesome as I saw photos of my mom holding me as a newborn that I’d never seen.

We used Digitize Home Movies, Photos, Slides & More with Legacybox(R) (https://legacybox.com/) to convert multiple formats. They send you a box with barcodes. You affix a barcode to each item you send in. They scan in everything and email you regular updates including receipt, intake, processing, completion, and shipping.

They aren't necessarily the cheapest but they did a terrific job, and they regularly run deals so searching for coupon codes can pay off.

I am sure there are many companies that do this but you might want to look into DIY for the 35mm slides and negatives. My daughter gave me a little device by IT (Innovative Technologies 35mm Film/Slide Converter ITNS-300). As of now I only used it to convert negatives and am pleased with the results. They are available for around $35 and are simple to use.

I had VHS tapes made digital, a nice Villager did it for me. He's very inexpensive and does an amazing job. His name is Don LeBlanc. His number is 860-309-7866.

I bought a Wolverine slide to digital converter (red box color) on Amazon 6 years ago for about $100. Worked great. Place the slides in the slider, slide them through, hit the save button on each one. They come out nice and big.

Some of the slides hadn't aged well so I had to open the photo up in photoshop and adjust the hue. Many of them I adjusted came out looking great. It's fast and easy to save the photos. Fixing the color takes the extra time. But since I'm a graphic artist that specializes in photo conversions, and even adding in/taking out stuff that you could never tell was or wasn't there, I'm able to get them near perfect.

I once fixed a girl friend's 40+ year old b&w baby photo. It had several cuts in it and tiny missing pieces, some on her face. I filled them all in and got it looking like a fresh unscathed photo.

I did that just last year. I have about 600 slides and wanted to turn some of them into digital format so that I could print them.
I found a company called imemories.com and they did it for a very reasonable price.
