Quick update on the mammoth project that is these slides!!
I've now finished scanning them in, and I feel a little sadness at the end of the surprises each time I scan one. An awful lot of the photos are either of people, or are poor quality - I think this probably leaves around a quarter of the slides as "good".
Initially, I scanned the box in the order they were in the box, however it has become clear to me that they weren't in the box in any order any more... Now, some slides are stamped with a date, so that's fine. Others have something written on them. But lots of others - a whole pile - have nothing at all.
I have sat this afternoon and sorted the slides into each type of slide, and am reorganising them that way. This way (hopefully) a clue or something written on one slide, can date-check all the other slides of that batch to give at least an approximate date.
