Digitising Film

Last year, my mother gave me a hoard of old films, slides, and negatives. Yesterday I ordered a Kodak device which will digitise them. It will digitise 8 mm film, too -- invented in 1932, and superseded in 1965. It will only do this frame by frame -- however, there are some precious clips which might be worth the effort. I remember, as a boy, standing with my father as he filmed men making fire -- before the advent of matches, at least before their regular supply. That is likely to be on 8 mm film. OBSERVATION: The slide on the right is transferred with a backlight and a digital camera, which is a slow process. The Kodak process is fast.
