I asked for the slide digitizer for Christmas because I found a cache of slides my father had taken for his freelance art business. He was a commercial art director and loved the craft so much he got up early to take slides before he went to work. I wish I had his inspiration and talent...
He also photographed some of his sold or gifted artworks as a record.
I wanted to digitize the slides so they wouldn't be lost to my sons who never met my dad. Things I wanted to pass on sort of. I really hope you can get to the reproductions of your slides. It makes them so easy to share. I would bet the loss of detail would be minimized by a professional service. Good luck with your archival process!
Regards,
Joe
