<p>I inherited 7 cases of Old Travel Slides from my cousin that traveled Europe for years with the service.</p><p>When she passed away about 5 years ago, I really wanted to see the all so I purchased a used projector,</p><p>and have not been able to view hardly any of the. I did look at a couple that were of France, but she was all over</p><p>Europe and the Far East because she sent me many small gifts from over there. I don't want these any</p><p>more as I am trying to down size. I am in my early 70's and need to get rid of them. Do you have</p><p>any suggestions as to how and where. To donate or sell, or what.....I just want them gone....</p><p> </p><p>Sincerely,<br />Linda Huckfeldt</p>

Veterans Organizations?
If your cousin took the slides while on active duty, you might try some veterans organizations in your area or perhaps some local museums. However, I fear that you should begin to prepare yourself for disappointment. Ask yourself what such an organization, much less a prospective buyer, might want to do with them. I find that, in our digitized age, it's becoming more difficult to donate things. Maybe you can get a 401(c)(3) organization to accept them just so you can get a tax deduction for your donation. Just don't ask too much about what the organization will do with them. I think many of us may be thinking that our heirs ultimately will dump all those slides and photos that have such sentimental value to us.
