I also have taken about 6-8000 slides since I bought my OM-2 brand new in
about '77 or so(just like yourself). One thing you will find out when trying
to scan even a portion of these on CD's for permanent storage (sort of . . .
I know) is the incredible amount of time it takes to scan something in, dust
spot it and save it.
I store my slides in metal Logan boxes, which I hope will keep at least the
dust down. In dry S. Calif. we don't worry too much about the humidity or
bugs.
