Making prints from old slides. [View all]

Very old slides - 40 years old.

I recently unearthed a large 3 ring notebook full of negatives and slides belonging to my brother, who died 40 years ago, at age 23, while studying photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I knew that I had these materials, but hadn't looked thru them in a very long time. Probably at least 20 years. I may never have looked at all of them.

There are a few slides of pictures of him, rather than by him, probably taken by his then-girlfriend. I do not remember ever seeing these pictures of him, and I would like to get prints made of them. I suspect my 96 yr old mom would like to see these photos, but the slides would be much too small for her 96 yr old eyes to make out much.

The slides are on color Kodak film, and are in perfect condition.

I would appreciate any expert recommendations on a safe way to accomplish this.
