Thanks. Once I have contact sheets, I'll look into that. These were my
stepfather's, and he was a recreational pilot and went to lots and lots
of air races back in the 30's and 40s. The last time he flew somewhere,
he showed the cabin attendant his pilot's license, and the captain had
him brought into the cockpit to spend the flight in the jump seat. He
was in his late 80s, early 90s at the time, and it was before 9/11.

You might want to take a look at these:
http://www.loc.gov/film/storage.html
http://www.filmpreservation.org/preservation/nitrate.html
I have no idea whether either of those will apply to *your*
film.

Thanks! That's good information to have. One good thing is that I got
the film out of Florida and into this arid climate. Though being in the
metal canisters probably helped to keep it from deteriorating, plus most
of it is in individual sleeves, too. Not like movie film. It's one
more thing on my List of Things to Do.

Right! My list includes organizing all the digital pictures
I have taken in the last 5-6 years, then getting all of our
50-year collection of slides scanned and organized, after
which I will get all my DMIL's thousands of slides scanned
and
oh, never mind....

I am much encouraged by the saying that only the good die young. I
figure I have many years to get this stuff done. Heck, I might be
immortal. ;-)
