Related: About this forum3-D (stereo) slides from the 50's and 60's -- I have hundreds of them,
old family slides, plus a viewer. I would like to get them copied so other family members could see them -- maybe have them put on a DVD?
Does anyone have any ideas for how or where to do this? There are places online that say they could make images from 3-D slides, but I don't want to just mail them off to some place I don't know. (I live in the Seattle area.)
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.

I still shoot with a 3-d Stereo Realist camera on occasionn. To share them and archive them you can do a digital scan. There are several consumer grade slide scanners available. I have found that you get the best image if you take them out of the holder/viewing sleeve, scan and then re-set them into a new holder/sleeve.
Once you have them scanned there are free 3-d image combiner sharewares available to re-constitute the images as a red/cyan, polarized, or digital 3d pair. You can even send these pairs off to be printed as lenticular 3-d prints.
Alternately, you can track down stereojet substrate and print the image and it is viewable as 3-d without glasses!
Try these for 3-d related supplies and services. I think they may even scan for you.

Good Luck.

A while back someone asked about this and one of the sources I found recommended just scanning one of the images from each slide. The difference between the two images is slight and that would give you digital versions that are easy to share.
