It is, there’s between 12,000 and 15,000 slides and a lot are natural history so I’m having to keyword the digital versions so I’ll be able to find particular shots. I’m also having to keyword the travel photos with street names as I can never remember them. Basically, anything captioned on the slide mount I’m having to keyword.
Thanks Debbie. Yes, keywording is key. Even more so with copies of slides as there’s no timeline. All my digital originals are filed by year/month but I can’t do that with the film copies.
Fabulous words, and a stunning photograph

Thanks Becky. It’s one from my archives. I’ve been going through my slide files digitizing as much as possible before they deteriorate further.

Beautiful – I love the colours, David
And good luck with the digitising. Keep up the keywording – so easy to skip it and regret it.
