P3D My own (attempted) stereo slide pages

I'm going to order some of those archival slide pages for myself, soon!

I, too, was on the same path a few years ago and bought, experimented,
(and ruined) many 2x2 polyprop pages in the quest. My modifications
were nearly as frustrating and unsightly as my iron-sealed mounting
technique - so I'll welcome (and gladly pay for) a well-done and researched
alternative.

The "surviving" pages I made all went into  sealed, black, archival binders,
where I have hundreds and hundreds of slides (roughly) organized.

I have several binders of various World Fair slides '58-'88 (but NO Japan
'70 yet...hint....hint). I include other pages that contain letters from such
stereo-illuminati as Paul Wing, Seton Rochwite and our own Mr. Ron Labbe.
The letters each precede the pages of slide(s) I received from them. I also
have some wonderful 1950's Kodak Co. "demo" slides. One of which (a 50's crew
cut guy and his gal perched on some scenic CA costal rocks,) was reproduced
in Kodak's full-page photo mag ads ("We can't show you this picture the way
it was really taken, but you Kodak Dealer can!"). Next to it, I have the actual
ad page included in the binder.

What to do with all this collection? I dunno. I hope never to be broke enough to sell
it. I may will it to my wife (to settle all my credit card bills ;-) ) or will it to the
Holmes Library (with my name on the binders, engraved in a gold plate, w/
brief biographical details, such as my early life in a log cabin, etc. etc. ! :-) ).

Dr. T told me there was a thread here about the fate of slide collections
before I rejoined. I guess I'll hafta get the Photo-3D CD!
