Hi Fernando, Ken and all,

And I think Almería is less humid than Montevideo...

Most of my (our) slides are in shelves too.

Our oldest slides (KM) are dated 1977 IIRC. Some are in binders, the rest in
their yellow boxes. I checked yesterday a few from 1979 -- look great.

IME, Agfa slides looked bad even right after developing :-(

That was the method I intended to use. It seemed great back then, but having
several thousand slides now, I'm no longer sure... Your hanging storage
seems interesting.
