13. I might consider having the antique film professionally scanned

So I have the highest quality archival scans possible.

For our own slides, negatives, and prints, our own scans are adequate. Mostly what I am doing is putting images online to share. And most of that these days is putting the antiques images online. Aside from the old negatives (including some glass ones from the 1890s) my husband and I have family photos dating to the 1850s or so. We have become the repository for both families's images and genealogy so I want to get it where it can be shared while I am still able!

Since the online images don't need to be as high resolution as archival scans, I haven't worried about it. But I will soon be able to afford the best and I think getting better scans of the antique negatives is a good idea.
