friend worked for kodak and he used to get into the games to take photos.. i worked on his lawn and he gave me 272 kodak slides that he took during the 1974-75 season of the W.H.A. . a year later he passed away.

Yes I would agree. They're hard to make out but thank you for taking the time to share them!

mhm what i did that may help a little is take a few to a camera shop .. only 1 left in town that will develop 33mm and had some developed into 5x7's .

Yeah they look really good. What's your plan with them?

slimies · March 17, 2019 9:03PM

am hoping to get all slides eventually developed so will be easier to see them without a projector..then display them in a large photo album. it will take a while due to the amount of slides and the prices to develop them at the shop.

That is a really fun find.

There is a process where you can use a scanner to turn slides into pictures. Of course, taking them to get developed is easier but more expensive!

thanks glad like the pics.. ill prob get em developed so i can add them to the photo album i started. so far have 26/272 developed into 5x7s.
