    About this ebook

    Millions of American families used slides to capture their family memories in the 1960s. These slides are now 50 years old. They are gradually decaying and their precious images will soon be lost forever. This short story chronicles my journey of digitizing 50 year old family slides. Reading this short story will help you decide on how to best preserve your family memories.
