My father-in-law recently died, and my wife and her brother had the task of sorting through an entire house of belongings, including cameras, slides, negatives, and 8mm films. It also included 40 photo albums. My brother-in-law has the negatives, slides, and 8mm, plus a really cool looking old 8mm movie camera with a multi lens turret. My wife sorted the 40 photo albums into 2 large books, one for each family, plus I kept his Argus "brick", which is on display along side my dad's ancient Univex Mercury half frame. I have no idea what they will do with his Canon Rebel and a few lenses, since I did not want them. As it goes, what will likely happen is that whoever inherits your stuff, they will sell what is marketable, keep what is meaningful to them as a remembrance, and most of the rest will be tossed. -

I have also wondered this... ATM I do have a lot of "low hanging" fruit" that I really need to sell ..problem is : all the stuff I don't want, nobody else does either. I seem to have more of a penchant to buy than sell. That said; I imagine for a while I will keep "the collection" mostly of Speed Graphic and Zeiss Ikon b/c I am attached to this stuff. . I really should sell the Kievs and Yashica TLRs . a few broken Exactas and East German Contax SLRs (3). On the fence about a lot of the consumer Voigtländer Zeiss Ikon etc .. just too many ..and they're all nice in their own way... there will be some stuff that .. if I survive I might be forced to sell when I am delivered to hospice etc. (Did I mention all the musical instruments I have too?.. I digress ) My children have no interest and no grandchildren either. As Sandy mentioned the color slides.. I have plenty, and the are well preserved...but I have planned for years to rent a scanner and scan the good stuff, so that when I pass the contents will be there, but enjoying the beauty of projection. will be lost to posterity. I suspect my negatives will all be tossed. I might approach some of the local historical societies, perhaps they might be interested in the negs... the digitized info can go on a drive...I suspect they will happily take that..and toss the negs!! Anyway... I don't know.. but I am thinking a lot about this lately... not getting any younger!! -
