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) 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.
