Should be very cheap and I dont see why it shouldn't work. A more expensive

Congratulations to Lynn - how long did it take and how many images have you
archived ?
I am attempting a similar project and finding it difficult even to get
going.
When I bought my scanner I had already seen the results (even A3) that could
be had with a 3Mpixel digicam (which is technically 8

Not a problem, for me, since I made about 30 copies of the first 1000 images
and distributed them to family members, with several in reserve and one in a
safe-deposit box.
That way, if one is destroyed, it can be copied from one in
Hi Lynn,
What size files did you decide upon for your family images. How many images
per CD and what file format (this'll start another discussion for sure).

On storage of CDs
Out of curiosity, anyone live in humid coastal areas (eg Florida)?
My CDs develop mould very quickly, the only workable solution seems
to be these demhumidifier cabinets. Gets filled fast, and cabinets
are expensive.
Needless to say, mould has attacked many early slides

Yeah--talk about opening a whole new can of worms! :-)
I had two goals: 1) to digitize *all* the family pictures of my parents'

Hi there,
I live in a humid coastal area, but it is not sub-tropical as yours is,
and our summers dry out, sort of, so we can start over again in the fall
waterlogging everything. I have not experienced mould problems on
either slides or CDs/CD-Rs. Perhaps keeping them in a cooler place

I have some folders with CD slip-sheets which I'm storing them in.
Keeps them in a much more compact state than normal jewel cases.

My thanks (again, and doubly) to Tony for this List, and to Art, Larry,
There are now slim jewel cases which are nearly 1/2 the width of the
original design, which some manufacturers are packing the disks in.
I do use the slip sheets for ones I use regularly, and for CDs (as
opposed to CD-Rs), but not for archival stuff.
In the end, probably the most important
