Mounting them separately allows me to group by subject, throw out the rejects, and have them ready for scanning. The slides are mounted in archival hanging slide pages in lateral filing cabinets. My filing system is based on the old PhotoTrack software with numbers for every country and 99 different subjects. I'm only about two years behind in mounting negatives ;-) Now if I just had all 500,000+ scanned!
