They are all scanned and I print a contact sheet for each page using Photoshop's automatic feature. I save large resolution scans on CD's and low resolution scans in my Hindsight database. The slides are filed by country first and then by subject within each country. I use the old PhotoTrack numbering system and can find any slide within seconds (if I have refiled it!)
