What format are these slides? If they're the glass equivalent of standard 
stereo cards, then you could use standard Holmes viewers, pointed at light 
boxes.

However, I suspect that these slides are 45 x 107 slides as taken by the 
Verascope and similar cameras. For these you might want to try using a pait 
of modern 50 x 50mm 35mm slide viewers (Like the Agfa "Guckie") They could be 
slid over the glass slides - one from each end - and then secured together to 
ensure that the slides aren't stressed. A serier of these on a board with a 
fluorescent tube behind would allow people to view the slides without having 
to handle the slides... 
 
<< Does anyone know of a projector for this format? >>

There is a carrier available for the Hawk projector for this format and I 
have projected them in the past, though I prefer to digitally dupe them to go 
into "Realist" format mounts...
