Do you have the original film? If so, be sure to preserve it! It's nice to have digital copies but (assuming it's Kodachrome) the film is essentially permanent. I've collected a good number of reels of old home movies from yard sales and thrift stores. It's made me wonder if the original owners made tapes and figured it was safe to let go of the film. Tape and DVD are temporary.
