Denise, A novel approach! But I'm curious... did those high schoolers have to attend HIPPA training before doing this task?

A win win. They were completely computer literate, and FREE! They got credit for performing a valuable service to this non profit hospital and over 30,000 slides were done over the course of a year. You might contact the local high schools with an outline/scope of the project.

Very, very time consuming. We stille have the Nikon 5000 and it is SLOW. What we did was put a digital camera on a slide projector and load slide trays – went much faster and the resolution was good. We also had a slide projector converted to a slide cleaner called the “car wash”. It used compressed air to blow dust off the slides, which were dirty – even in slide sleeves. This is now set upo at a Kinkos Copy center here I believe. You might consider outsourcing this massive project?

Kellogg wants to start scanning in all the old patient slides and start a teaching file. I use to use a Nikon scanner at Indiana University similar to this one http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product-Archive/Film-Scanners/9238/Super-COOLSCAN-5000-ED.html Does anyone know of a good one to purchase or have one they are willing to sell with an auto feeder?
